i recently posted a question (light and time) someone told me to look into loss of simultanety...
according to what i read the speed of light can be judged by someone or things frame of reference.(if I am traveling at .999 the speed of light the light in front of me and coming from behind me are still both passing me at 186000 mps) so unless i look at dilation of light (red or blue shift of stars) i am not moving.. i am in my frame of reference... if i release a pulse of light it takes off at the same speed in all directions... so within my frame can't i continue to accelerate? matematicaly passing the speed of light compared to someone elses frame of reference?? even though them looking at my "clock" as being slow makeing it seem as if I am still traveling under the speed of light to their frame??
