Okay this is a thought experiment so we will assume that technical difficults don't exist.
I built a cannon that shoots cannons. each cannon gets smaller but is able to shoot it's projectile 25,000 miles a second. So the first cannon is shot and the second is going 25,000 mps and it shoots the third which is then going 50 000mps. This shoots the third going 75,000mps. This can continue indefinately . Why can't this eventually lead to a cannon traveling at over 186,000 mps relative to the initial starting point ????? Is the light speed limit real???? I know that they have not measured anything going faster than light speed but is this a technical problem or a result of the light speed limit????
