suppose two rockets with a passenger are nearing speed of light velocities and are going opposite directions. Relative to eachother one rocket will seem stationary while the other rocket will look like it’s going almost twice the speed of light. What do both passengers see?

Question

I can’t wrap my head around it. But maybe it might be a very silly question with a simple answer.

Answer 1

For both rockets time will have slowed down to the point where from their viewpoint the other rocket isn’t going above the speed of light.
