Well I was on a boat and the boat was going in...um...lets say west. And I was going to the opposite direction (East). So in going the opposite direction as the boat i go faster and if I walk in the same direction as the boat is then I'll go slower. (Remember that this is just a theory)

when u r moving in the east ur inertia due to boats motion in the west is pushing u in the east so u can walk fastly in the east, but when u go in the west direction then ur inertia forces ur speed to decrease, its just the simple newtons law.

No. yo when you move in the opposite direction you are bucking the velocity. That means relative to the land you are going slower.

Your velocity in the direction the boat was travelling would be slower. I think you'd subtract your velocity back from it's velocity forward. The difference between that and the forward velocity of the boat would be your forward velocity.

It's incorrect and little bit silly theory

Doesn't make one bit of sense.
