If you're travelling on a train moving at 99.9999% the speed of light and you get up and walk to the front of the train, didn't you just surpass the speed of light? Given the speed of light,a walk at .0001% of that speed would have to be a fairly brisk one.

Well you get my point. Add another several dozen 9s on the end of it and you could make it more reasonable stroll.

As for the premise itself, I have no idea. I think Einstien was tripping on something. I don't understand any of his theories.
