Two observers looking at each other, see a photon move between them on their axis of right/left.
Observer A sees the photon move at plus C, i.e. from the left to the right. So, observer B, who looks at observer A, must see the photon move at minus C, i.e. from the right to the left. But what about what the photon sees when measuring setting its velocity? Will the photon set its velocity as plus C, i.e. from the left to the right, or it will set its velocity as minus C, i.e. from the right to the left?
