Travel Info If you were travelling at the speed of light, then would your headlights work? Travel Tips I know what physics would say, that yes because the light never travels at any other speed in normal circumstances, through normal space light always travels at the same speed no matter the viewpoint, even if that viewpoint also travels at light speed. However, you would not be able to turn on the headlights. The closer to light speed that you go the slower time gets for you. It is theorized that reaching exactly light speed time stops. Light is no "older" than when it was created no matter how long it travels or bounces off things. If you were travelling slower than light speed, even a little bit you would be able to move as normal and it would appear slower or stationary to everyone else. But at light speed, without time how can you move? And also slower than light speed and you've ruined your experiment because light is now faster than you by a fraction. Others yes, it's just that other people wouldn't see the headlights until too late!! On the plus side you would be able to avoid detection be speed cameras because the flash wouldn't illuminate your numberplate :) Yes if you switch them on, and you may be heading straight for someone who was not travelling that fast, so if they were not on, they might not see you! I think so anyway. they most certainly would as I have done before and it feels ace you and the car you are in would be crushed into a mass so small that working headlights would be the least of your concerns i dont think i ll be needing them mate.... yes because the lights would be going at the speed of light + the speed of light. |
