Help! I think I am going crazy or the world is crazy.

the stones have a chance of hitting each other

If I throw a stone at you, the same time you throw a stone at me and the stones travel at the same speed, the stones hit each of us at the same time right?

No.

Throwing trajectory, wind direction speed, targets moving all make them hitting the exact same time an almost impossibility.

Depends on your speed

No speed, change it to bullets if you like, we shoot each other with the same make and model gun, the bullets have the same speed.

Do the bullets hit us at the same time?

Depends on wind speed and direction

There is no wind, stop being so obtuse.

The direction of the bullets is at each other in a straight line , vector x

Depends on the exact trajectory, angle, velocity, etc...

Ok troll, clearly you have no intention of giving an answer, I should of knew better than asking some ''dumb'' students.

and they hit at the same time.

Well yes that is the answer.

The point is something far more complicated and I am not sure you would understand, but on your yes answer alone I know I am correct.

Although when I say this, I am referring to a third observer who happens to be observing from 'outside the system', as it were. If I were to shoot a bullet at you, and you at me, we would perceive them to hit at slightly different times since the speed of light is not infinite. But this is not what we are talking about, I presume?

You are already aware of my argument? It is about the speed of light and a very interesting fact or two .

So lets cut to the chase,

You stand on the Sun ( yes I know you can't really stand on the Sun).


I stand on Earth


We look at each other


Like the bullets from a gun, the Photons travel from me to you

and the photons travel from you to me


we see each other the exact same time?

OP calling us trolls for asking about certain variables, I think OP is clearly the troll here...
