The speed of light is an absolute through space. Move behind light and
it only moves ahead of you in the same direction by C minus your

velocity by the Gamma factor slowing time. Light coming from behind
you will overtake you by this same amount(C minus Absolute velocity)
in your slow time.

One thing that's always fascinated me it that if photons travelling
at light speed from two sources, heading toward each other "collide,"
how would that "force" compare to the photons from once source
hitting a solid object?

But why would they 'collide'? Why wouldn't they just pass each other?
