The near c component of the velocity remains near c with applying 90 deg acceleration, hence that the velocity vector will remain towards this near c regardless of 90 deg acceleration characteristics. For a significant change one need to apply acceleration that has very significant deceleration component to this near c velocity vector (significant amount of >90deg acceleration applied, best to be close to 180deg).
- noduerme 3y agoyeah, and that's the way it would appear to a motionless observer. Buy not how it would appear to you. Remember, once you have achieved .99c velocity, no longer accelerating, you are standing still. From your perspective, any new acceleration at a 90deg angle should begin accumulating light from that direction.
