The speeds shown are given in miles per second, the speed of light. What is the collision velocity? Time's up. The collision velocity is 186,282 miles per second. This is what physicists mean when they say that the speed of light is the ultimate velocity. Nothing can go faster. You don't add anything to the speed of light, period. Even light itself can't do it.
