The basis of the theory of relitivity is that the speed of light is
Always the same, regardless of your velocity.  Think of the speed of light
as the limit of all velocity, and light particles having infinate speed (but
limited by C).  Thus, light moves at C, even if you are going at .99C relitive
to some other object.
