Any observations wouldn’t see anything but the whole light
I believe this is explained by Einstein in his example of the train in the Theory of Relativity
Comment on The speed of light
webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks agoI think the answer is that you are only traveling at almost light speed from reference frame of your start position.
The light of the lamp travels at light speed from your own reference speed which to you in a vacuum is 0.
Anyone correct if wrong please?

Correct. Physics gets really, really weird at relativistic speeds. Something to keep in mind is that the speed of light isn’t actually the speed of light itself, but rather the speed of causality - the universe’s hard limit at which any interactions can occur. Even if you are traveling at .99c from a certain reference frame, space time itself warps in such a way that your measurements still determine that light travels away from you at 1c
