Two bodies approach each other.
Body 1 moves east at 0.75 c, and body 2 moves west at 0.75 c.
Logic dictates that an observer in body 1 will see body 2 move past body 1 at 1.5c.
Yet SR says no observer will ever see any motion greater than c in a non-accelerated reference frame.
Evidently, the SR limit of velocity to a maximum of c is invalidated by the simple thought experiment.
The observer in object 1 would see the true relative velocity of object 2, yet SR would calculate the relative object's velocity to be less than c.
The SR velocity of less than c indicates SR theory is false.
