Hi I have a few thought experiments I like to see how other peoples
opinions are on the results,
Experiment 1:
A space ship travelling at close to the speed of light shoots a
constant stream of Laser beam out of it's back end. To a stationary
observer away from the space ship, Does the beam travel at speed of
light or does it travel at the speed of light minus the speed of the
space ship?. What does the people on the space ship see?
Space ships melt long before they achieve relativistic speeds.
Nonsense. Your chair is traveling at a relativistic speed right now.
Oh, I suppose you haven't considered the frame of reference this is
measured in....
