well, thats the problem isn't it..if he is travelling at C how can any light reflect from his face onto the mirror??in order to be just in front of him it would need to go faster then C, and we know this isn't possible(don't start me on this subject..lol)so for that matter, could the man see his own hand held out in front of him...arrrggghhh...this is where all the confusion comes from....this isn't the answer by the way...i will give a detailed answer later...after your head has exploded (like mine)..
No probs xelan..I deffinatly don't profess to understand the theory's completely..not many could say they do, but without experiments like your space ship one, no-one would be able to understand any of it..its all mathmatical..don't abandon your space ship experiment, just modify for the earth bound frame of referance, and you will be onto somethin there i think..if not least, another way of explaining the annomoly...
cheers
