Awesome Car Decals, Car Stickers, Car Wraps, and Car Tattoos

This question is aimed at those of us that actually have a space car capable of doing light speed; or those with a good enough imagination to wrap their brains around it.

   Your lights chase after you. Even Dr. Science knows that!

   It is impossible for anything but light, to travel at the speed of light.

   I wonder if the light would still emit forward…just like a missle launching from a fighter jet.
   ?? Good question!

   You can’t travel at the speed of light. If your space car was going 0.999999999999999999 times the speed of light, which is possible, when you turned on the headlights, the light would move away from you at the speed of light. The speed of light is constant in all directions, no matter what your velocity.

   If you do this, your light will travel at twice the speed of light, momentarily, and then quickly slow down to the real speed of light, just ahead of your car.

   This is cool. I just told my boss about this very same question I saw on a show called “Newtons Apple” on PBS many yrs. ago. The question was posed “if you were in a VW…
   The show said that the headlights would be dim

    You can’t travel at the speed of light, just almost. Regardless, the light will travel no faster. Thanks to relativity you’ll see it move at the speed of light (and see the rest of the world move correspondingly slower), but an observer at rest (whatever you define as rest) will see you run slightly behind your light beam.

    It is quiet bizzare.

    Take on this fact
    If you are driving a car at 100m/h and a car from opposite direction also comes at 100m/h then it will appear to be moving at 200m/h.

    But according to physical theory nobody can exceed the speed of light.
    Take the above example and assume the car is coming to you at the speed of light (and not 100m/h). But in this case the car will appear to move at the speed of light ( and not speed of light + 100m/h)

    you will be able to see were you are going… at the speed of light.
    that is if your eyes and brain can keep up.
