You actually need to make the calculation in the framework of special relativity. For such high speeds, you cannot consider time as absolute.
And Einstein is not wrong, in contrast to what said the other comment. There is no proof he is (otherwise please show it to me). Note that having an alternative explanation is a totally different story that saying the explanation commonly considered is wrong. I also do not know about this alternative explanation and cannot therefore judge its relevance.
Thank you for answer. So you are saying by applying special relativity it is explainable ? You are probably right I just need to spend some time thinking about it.

That's indeed what I was meaning. The speeds are not simply added anymore. It is a bit more complicated, but nothing too complicated as well.

So the point where it gets more complicated is where? 0,5 C ?

At a much lower speed. When relativistic effects are negligible.

ohh but at low speed the effect is too small for us to even consider it ?

Responding here because of the nesting limit. If you want easy calculations, then you need to be non-relativistic. As soon as you go quick, relativity is at work and that's the price to pay. You can also achieve relativistic calculations at low speed and you will find that the results agree with the non-relativistic case.
