TL;DR Summary
Does it worked until the speed of light?
Lats say that i am moving on spaceship that moves 50% of the speed of light
And this spaceship is on a planet that moves in speed of 50% of the speed of light . And we have one clock on the spaceship ,clock number one, and on the planet we another clock,clock number two. And on difference system that static relative to the planet, we have one clock,clock number three.
So we have three clocks but the problem is that the time is freezing relative to clock number three and clock . number three is not freezing realtive to clock two witch is not freezing relative to click number so . we have two option for what the value of the clock two and three when clock number one is one secend

I can't figure out what question you are asking, but time is certainly not "freezing".

Again, moving relative to what?
If you mean that the planet is moving relative to you, and the ship is moving relative to the planet, and you are asking if that means that the ship is moving at the speed of light relative to you (##.5c+.5c=c##), then the answer is no. You can google for “relativistic velocity addition” to find the correct rule for adding speeds.

However, I suspect that you’re working from a more basic misunderstanding here. You’ve heard that “time slows down for a moving clock”, but that doesn’t mean what you’re thinking it does. Let’s take the simplest example: you and I are standing side by side on the surface of the earth. We synchronize our clocks, then you get into a rocket ship and fly away at .5c relative to me. You are moving relative to me while I am at rest relative to me; I say that your clock is running slow. However, we could just as well analyze the problem by saying that you are at rest while I and the Earth are moving at .5c in the other direction - and conclude that my clock is the one that is slow.
(Do not confuse this situation with the one in which you eventually turn around and return to the Earth so that we can compare our clocks side by side - that’s the twin paradox and it is pretty much unrelated to time dilation and you don’t want to take it on until you understand the simpler case in which you and I are just moving relative to one another in a straight line).

Both descriptions of the situation are equally right, and there is no contradiction between them. The apparent paradox (my clock is slower than yours and your clock is slower than mine) is explained by the relativity of simultaneity, something else that you should google for.

This is very confusing. There is no such thing as “moves 50% of the speed of light”. There is “moves 50% of the speed of light with respect to Earth” or with respect to a space station or with respect to whatever.

Any time you mention “moves” without mentioning “with respect to” or “relative to” then you have an incomplete thought.

No, it isn't. In relativity, velocities do not add linearly, so 50% of the speed of light plus 50% of the speed of light does not equal 100% of the speed of light.
 
OK, so this has bugged me for a while about the equivalence principle and the black hole information paradox. If black holes "evaporate" via Hawking radiation, then they cannot exist forever. So, from my external perspective, watching the person fall in, they slow down, freeze, and redshift to "nothing," but never cross the event horizon. Does the equivalence principle say my perspective is valid? If it does, is it possible that that person really never crossed the event horizon? The...
In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...
ASSUMPTIONS 1. Two identical clocks A and B in the same inertial frame are stationary relative to each other a fixed distance L apart. Time passes at the same rate for both. 2. Both clocks are able to send/receive light signals and to write/read the send/receive times into signals. 3. The speed of light is anisotropic. METHOD 1. At time t[A1] and time t[B1], clock A sends a light signal to clock B. The clock B time is unknown to A. 2. Clock B receives the signal from A at time t[B2] and...
