Understanding Relative Speed Limits in Relativity

The concept of relative speed in special relativity poses a challenge when two objects move away from each other at high speeds. Specifically, if two bodies are moving away from each other at 50.1% the speed of light, their relative speed appears to exceed the speed of light. This creates a limitation in our understanding of relativity and highlights the need for a clear frame of reference when discussing light.
