As I understand it now, the light is still going at the speed c for the observer, he is just not able see that direction. What helped me to understand was the idea of something moving at the speed (v,0,0) in some frame of reference (coordinate system). Then consider observer standing in the origin of such coordinate system. He wouldn't see the actual movement, but that wouldnt change the fact that the object is moving at the speed of v relative to his frame of reference. | |
