If you are driving at the speed of light and you turn your headlights on, what happens?

Unless the basic principles of the universe discovered by Einstein are proven wrong no matter can travel the speed of light so my guess would be that it would still move forward in direction.

If you were driving at the speed of light you wouldnt need to turn your lights on. You would be in the form of pure energy at that point.

but if you were in a vehicle that coudl travel that fast... you wouldnt see any difference if your headlights were on or off... becasue you woudl be moving as fast as the light, so there would be no reflection off objects infront of you.

umm not that i think someone will read this...and with delving to 5 pages of explanation...lets look at that question in an easier way..

if you were in a vehicle that was moving @ 1300fps and you fired a gun ( and for our purpose here) the projectile left the barrel @ 1300fps you would not keep pace with the bullet now would you...

so now you have the question of Albert's proposal that the speed of light is constant...

it's not, light is made of matter.. and like all matter when subjected to external forces it's speed does change... simple example if light was to reach the beginning vortex ( meaning more to the left it does not escape the field is caught till gavity of the black pells it apart creating hawkins radiation) of a black holes grav field it bends. thus direction is changed by gravity it will accelerate.... but light for unknown reason will return to it's known speed.

speed of light is also changed as it enters ..say water and is refracted.



this is an oversimplified answer. men in dark rooms have written books that are a mind numbing grind to understand to explain parts of how all this works...


but i think you get the jest.


i doubt anyone will read this...lol

Hmm, Thats not what I learned in physics classes. Or anyone else for that matter....
