Arrow Just a Physics problem that has been troubling me to understand....

First off, I love Philosophy and from understanding the concept of Perfection, it has taken me from Philosophy to Metaphysics, Cosmology, and now Physics. First off, how does the constant speed of light hit you at the SAME exact speed regardless of your motion? How come your speed towards or away from light not affect the 670 million MPH???

I understand that time dilation is one of the affects of traveling in motion compared to light and if light does not change speed, in which, it remains constant, then something else has to give. If the speed does not change regardless of subject, then time dilation would come into play.

What is your explanation or understanding of this? After this question, then I will go onto another deeper question...
