If they were able to notice relativistic effects, they'd be able to compute their speed relative to an inertial frame. | |

| Mar 2, 2020 at 20:07 | comment | added | Mefitico | I don't think there is a good definition of "seem like", as there are no studies (AFAIK) on how humans perceive time/space dilation effects. | |
| Mar 2, 2020 at 17:48 | comment | added | user7073 | All velocities are relative, so you can't really go 99.999% the speed of light, you can only do that in reference to other objects. However, I understand what you're askng. You can google to find the relativistic formulas, but I'm almost sure the answer is sqrt(2)/2 times the speed of light. | |
