Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity states that the speed of light is the same for all reference points no matter what their velocities are relative to each other. For instance, a single photon of light is traveling between points A and B, which are traveling in opposite direction, if light was measured from both points A and B, the result would be the same.
So here's my question: Image two photons, A and B, with the same velocity (same speed and direction):
a) Relative to Photon A, what is the speed of Photon B?
b) Relative to Photon B, what is the speed of Photon A?
