My friend and I need a little help with a thought experiment. Any
input is appreciated.
Situation:
My friend and I each start at point A. At the same instant, we start
traveling at 60% the speed of light. He in one direction; me in the
exact opposite direction. After a certain amount of time, he shines a
flashlight back in the direction of our starting point (and me).
Questions:
Can I see the flashlight?
If so, what color is it?
What is our relative velocity to each other?
Thanks,
Ken
Dirk answers are correct.
You can safely ignore AlbertShito, he's a troll. (and a young imbecile)
