So let me first off say i probably have no idea what I am talking about. I am simply a junior in high school whos only knowledge of physics is that of what i try to research on my own time. I really do like it though.
But it is my understanding that light speed is a consistent rate and no matter how fast you are moving you can not increase the speed of light.
So here is the question:
If you were in a spaceship moving at 99.5% the speed of light from left to right and you turn on a light inside the cabin which made the light travel left to right. Would you be able to see the light go across the room in a like slow mode manner due to your speed is so close to that of light or would it be instant due to time relativity? or do i just not have a clue what I'm talking about?
(ps this is not homework)
