Re: The Theory of Special Relativity for the Totally Confused Beginner
Can I ask I question? I know, this energizes us, fuels our egoes.

Anyhow, I ask:

If one travels at the speed of light (hypothetically), how would one observe the others, who are not traveling at the speed of light?

If one travels at half the speed of light in a space ship, the one would observe people on earth as if they traveled at half the speed of light as well. Is that correct?
