We can't, that's the whole point of relativity.
- Daniel_sk 6y agoNothing travels faster than light, not even information in any form.
- praptak 6y agoNothing travels faster than c but light sometimes travels slower than that.

- thedufer 6y agoBut the particular simplifying assumption you made invalidates the whole thought experiment. Who is moving faster actually depends on where you're looking from. This turns into complete nonsense if you assume instantaneous communication - who needs to slow down for whom?
