A simple experiment can be build to demonstrate a possible contradiction between thinking theory and reality.
Use two hand electrical light torches set upon a table and back to back. Switch them on simultaneously, and calculate the relative velocity of their opposite leaving flashes.
←c← O= =O →c→
←2c→
Solution
In this case, the relative velocity between two leaving flashes is twice the speed of light.
A matter of discussion
Well, now put yourself in a teacher position and try to explain to your students, how this could be possible?
I leave this answer to you!
