If I have a flashlight and the light travels at the speed of light (obviously) and I start moving at 10 m/s towards an observer with the flashlight pointed towards the observer, the light is traveling at c + 10 m/s towards the observer

seriously dont do this its a troll post and the flashlight will instantly explode in your hands
always stay on your toes on the Veeky Forums
will the FBI haul me off in a van if I try this?
hm..
no

Women...
How is relativity not working in my example? Just because I proved that einstwrong was wrong doesn't mean your precious physics still apply everywhere
...
Here's what happens in your example: beaming. The observer will receive light as if it was travelling at c, but maybe slightly more blue shifted that expected.
So what you're saying is that the color is shifted because it is traveling faster than expected
i.e. Faster than the speed of light
The light shifts color depending on the relative velocity of the source and observer because light always travels with velocity c.
Photons don't have inertia.
All that does is doppler shift the light.
>hey guys i just broke sound
>so if im in an atmosphere and sound travels at 343 m/s and i start autistically screeching while running forward at 1 m/s my sound travels at 344 m/s
>prove me wrong
>hurrr u cant
That's how retarded you sound right now
Ayy lmao Einstein BTFO
>Sound is the same speed from all reference frames
topkek
back to high school
light is a fucking wave you retard
lrn2 doppler shift
Or do they not teach physics in the 6th grade in your backwater town
Well sound doesn't work that way because sound is dependent on air molecules bouncing off eachother which usually only happens at the speed of sound
But light is a massless (basically) wave that propagates at c plus whatever speed it's being produced from. Therefore light can travel faster than the speed of light
this is all too weird
so light just adjusts to stay always at c whatever changes around it? like it has consciousness?
how do telescopes even work?
If a black hole can pull light backwards at the speed of light while the light is moving forwards at the speed of light, then it creates a standing wave which is moving at 0m/s. So intuitively we should say the opposite is true; a force can move light along its path which causes it to travel faster than the speed of light
OP here
>Just because I used babby-tier arithmetic
>doesn't mean I don't understand Minkowski
Yes, it does.
>Yes, it does
No, it doesn't
you just broke "muh reference frames" logic
No troll, not like it has consciousness. Its a law of the universe. Massless particles (or waves) always travel at c, its an inherent property of having no mass. Just like how particles with mass have gravity, they dont consciously decide to attract other particles with mass, it just how the universe works. Telescopes work by magnifying part of a distant object many many times by using a mirror or lense much larger than our retina to display an image to be read by our retina. The telescope sees the light as it was however many light years away the oject that is reflecting/emmiting that light is. Any more retarded bait?
Please tell me this is bait. A black hole is pulling space time (the medium through which light travels) into it faster than the speed of light. A flashlight moving forward is not the same thing, since the wave medium is not moving the light still travels at c.
The speed of light is absolute.
Thats meen that speed of the light is the same for all systems of reference.
If you run with the flashlight the light is traveling at same velocity as when you were standing.
>plus whatever speed it's being produced from
No.
Fucking Marilyn Monroe gets this, why can't you?
>travels faster than the speed of light
>faster
>speed of light
I believe my point has been proven
There is no known limit to what speed the medium which light travels through can move, just anything within that medium. You must be trolling if you claim to actually think your idea holds any merit. Its like 5 year old logic, you arent even the first person to post this thread and be shot down by facts only to continuously deny said facts.
Go back to and post pictures of the river of tears you just created after you realized that my theorem is correct even though you tried to prove it wrong with what I'm disregarding

Now i KNOW you are trolling. Good show sir. Goodbye forever.
whoa whoa wait a second
scientists, explain this
Whats the speed of light when its dark?
>2. Press fast forward on the VCR.
1997 just called, and they want their
Video Cassette Recorder back, fgt pls
>my theorem
L0Lno fgt pls
you have no "theorem"
c = constant.
So if you go 99.9 of c and have lights on, that light is still going c speed, not c + 99.9 c
