[QUOTE="chuckpeterson, post: 74057300, member: 407259"] Let’s take this one step further using your example. Lets say there is a third person who is not in the station and is in fact stationary in space. This observer see’s the station passing by and sees the light beam shining out the front. The stationary observer sees the station and observes its speed. The observer also sees the light beam shinning out the front of the station. Now let’s expand this hypothetical and say the station is traveling at 1/2 the speed of light. The light leaving the station is either traveling the speed of the station+the speed of light; Or, the observer is seeing the station traveling ½ the speed of light and the light speed leaving the station is traveling at ½ the speed of light?
