Would not speed of the light emitted from the front of the fast moving object be the speed of light + the speed of the fast moving object?

2Please look at relativistic addition of velocities. – user35952 May 10 '14 at 23:20

1possible duplicate of If I am travelling on a car at around 60 km/h, and I shine a light, does that mean that the light is travelling faster than the speed of light? – BMS May 10 '14 at 23:27

No, light travels at the same speed for all reference frames due to Einstein's theory of relativity. The light would travel away from the fast object at the speed of light to the reference frame of the speeding object, but you would also see the light traveling at the speed of light from a nonmoving reference frame.
