I hope you do not seriously imagine that a third party observer would
be able to see two light signals rushing towrds each other? And what
sort of concept is a "gap" between those two signals in any case? It
is certainly not something that can be measured, still less
"observed". Imagined, maybe, in a similar way to the mythical end of
the beam from a torch, which allegedly "travels at greater than c".
