Indeed.
That's why it's called "relativity". What happens is determined by the observer's relation to the observed. If the observer is seated at the bus stop, and the speedster whizzes by @sol, the headlights on the speedster wouldn't to the bus stop patron appear to shine. BUT !!
To the whizzer driver passing the bus stop @sol, the lights would appear to function normally to him, for to him the vehicle passing the bus stop would be stationary in relation to the headlights. For you see, sol may be an absolute, but it appears to not be a universal absolute. The observer influences the observation. But no matter where the observer, the speed of light has not been witnessed documented as exceeding C.
I'd like to mention to t #1 something seemingly similar about quantum mechanics. But I shied from it so as not to appear to think Relativity and quantum physics are related. In quantum physics, the process of measuring can alter that which is measured.
The thing that sends me about quantum physics is entwined particles. Astronomer / author / professor Bob Berman says entwined particles could be galaxies away, and yet Berman says they will still respond simultaneously, instantaneously.
It's complicated of course. But the standard concept of size presents it as a spectrum, starting at zero as one terminus of the spectrum, and infinite at the other, but a linear spectrum.
The entwined particles have me wondering whether instead of a linear spectrum, whether it sort of loops around to form a circle relating in some way the tiniest, with the opposite.
Don't know.
Not smart enough to figure it out.
