ok, say I am on a people-mover type escalator
(like a escalator that u may find in the stores only horizontal, not at an angle) lets say that this escalator was actually travelling at the speed of light. also lets say that I am standing at the "backend" of the escalator and I start to run towards the "frontend" of the escalator......now heres where it gets abit muddy for me. If I am running on a surface that is moving at the speed of light(the escalator) ...........Wouldnt I be moving faster than the speed of light??
Even though I am confined to being ON the escalator moving at the speed of light . Wouldnt I be moving FASTER within my confines of the escalator???
