If you are walking at 1m/s and flash a beam of light in front of you (in the same direction you are walking), then the beam of light moves at c + 1. That's just how it works.
i like this pepe
>>16292313it moves at c - 1 actually, you are the one providing the +1m/s
>>16292320You are adding velocity to the light beam. So it's c + 1. If you are walking at 1m/s and drop a ball, its forward velocity starts at 1m/s before losing energy. It doesn't just drop straight down.
>>16292325>You are adding velocity to the light beamexactly, so it doesnt have to work so hard to reach the speed of light it goes c - 1
Why does it have to stop at the speed of light? It goes at c + 1 because you are adding 1 m/s of velocity to it. That's how physics works.
>>16292313except all experimental observation and theoretical examination shows that that's not just how it works.electrodynamics doesn't fully work in a galilean universe - it can still describe limited cases of electro- or magnetostatics and some low-velocity dynamics, but completely breaks down at higher-velocities and doesn't allow for EM wave formation.
>>16292341For the same reason that water stops being a liquid at 100C at standard pressure.
>>16292382The energy breaks the hydrogen bonds by exciting them causing the water molecules to flow freely.Now explain why there is a speed limit at which light can move.
>>16292379Yea, it’s an engineering approximation that works in some contexts. It is not a blueprint of the universe.
