Leave, Bullet, Partake


“Ok class - here’s a brain teaser for you:

“Let’s say a shot is fired on the ultimate bullet train, moving at the fastest speed any object can move - the speed of light - which means the gun is also moving at the speed of light. But the bullet, as we can see when it leaves the muzzle of the gun, is traveling away from the gun at some high velocity, which means it’s traveling faster than light speed. How is that? Who will partake in answering this conundrum?

“Anyone?

“A hint - Einstein says the bullet doesn’t violate any physics laws.

“Anyone?”
