Doubt about relativity!
I am a noob! Forgive me if it sounds too stupid!
Let me say, I am in CERN right now at the LHC.
I fire a proton at 0.9c in one direction. While this happens, I also fire another proton at 0.5c in the opposite direction. Both the measurements were done considering the lab as a reference frame.
The problem is, what's the speed(or velocity) of either proton relative to one another??
