The physics students are spouting in tongues as far as any civilians can see. You might as well say that if a person is in a vehicle travelling at the speed of light, and she throws a baseball (fires a gun?) straight ahead, that result is an object travelling faster than said speed of light. Just as ridiculous. Cut the crap. If you want to give an example, give it to us straight, with a clear explanation that doesn't require complete understanding of Newton, Keppler, etc. AND something your Physics teacher told you in your second year.
