If you were running at a constant speed towards a light that is coming towards you and an other light was following you, from your perspective how is it possible that both lights go at the same speed. I would think the light moving towards me would go faster than the light coming from behind which I am moving away from.

3I would think… The universe doesn’t work according to your intuition. Your intuition works fine for speeds like 100 kph but not for really high speeds. Do you want the relativistic formula for combining speeds? – Ghoster Feb 11 '23 at 01:17

You might as well take your speed to be zero. – WillO Feb 11 '23 at 02:43
