Initial situation Albert Einstein postulates that every object that is currently not experiencing any acceleration can be viewed as stationary. From this still view, objects in the environment move in relation to this object. The speed of other objects is calculated using the Lorentz transformation. A relevant example Objects moving at speeds below 1% of light speed (below 3'000 km/s) only get slightly modified by the Lorentz transformation. Therefore I choose for this reflections neutrinos that get emitted by stars and move at 99.99% the speed of light away from their stars. Neutrinos emitted by stars From the point of view of an observer, the sun is approximately stationary and the emitted neutrino is moving. Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away. Neutrino 1 , moving at 99.99% the speed of light, will reach Proxima Centauri in  =  4.2004 years. Transformation The Lorentz transformation ensures that no object moves faster than light, neither by itself nor in relat...

 

If one applies the Lorentz transformation on the following set-up, the results turn out to be very peculiar. Two stars emit neutrinos, e.g. the sun (-> neutrino 1) and Proxima Centauri (-> neutrino 2). We observe these neutrinos, both of which are moving away from their star at 99.99% the speed of light. They maintain their speed as they approach each other. The two neutrinos do not experience any acceleration on their way through space. According to Einstein's theory of relativity: Each can be viewed as resting. The objects in their environment can be calculated as moving relative to them. In order to put this consideration into a real framework without an object exceeding the speed of light, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, the speed of other objects is recalculated using the Lorentz transformation, according to the principle and the formula Consideration of the situation from the "resting view" of Neutrino 2,  one light minute before Neutrino 2 h...
