ok, I am new to SR and had a couple questions about the speed of light. The first is, i recently read that if 2 beems of light where going towards each other at the speed of light, the distance between them would close only at 1 c instead of 2c. how is it possible that the distance between only closes in at the speed of light? shouldn't it be 2x the speed of light?
the second actually pertains to light traveling faster than 300,000 km/s. there is a site HERE that says that they have recorded light traveling waaaay faster than the speed of light. wouldn't this really screw up SR and GR? also, is this true, or, how would this be worked out in SR and GR?
thanks.
