Comment on The speed of light
nexguy@lemmy.world 1 month agoLight ALWAYS travels away from you at the speed of light no matter how fast you and your flashlight are going. Something has to give and that is time. It may look to outside observers, not traveling that fast along with you, that light is going 1 m/s faster than you… but you would also appear to be moving in super slow motion trying to reach out for the beam. The faster you go the slower time moves for you.

no i think the light would indeed just travel 1m/s away for them but it would be very blueshifted, they could never catch it as in catching up to it because they can’t reach the speed of light instead their mass gets more and more
