What if one of the 10 commandments was "You shall not travel faster than light"?

Question

How many arguments would that have spared us?

Answer 1

Hahaha. That would be stupid. Don't forget that the 10 commandments were written in a specific time and place. If Moses had said to the Israelites wandering in the desert "You shall not travel faster than light," they'd have kicked him out of camp for being a lunatic. Things like "Honor your Father and Mother," "Thou shalt not murder," and "Thou shalt not steal," were commandments that applied to them in that time.

Answer 2

If that were a commandment then you would have no science, no civilization, no advancement, and no progress. We would be sitting on a rock next to a river holding hands wondering about the universe, scared to investigate whether we could travel faster than light.

Answer 3

Ahh but you can travel faster than light. Look up cherenkov radiation. It is neutrons traveling faster than light in water. It's wicked cool and looks like a blue glow eminating from the reactor core!

Answer 4

Then we should not travel faster than light. The commandments were given for a reason. There is a reason you should not kill others, steal stuff, cheat on your spouse, worship other gods, tell lies, etc....

Answer 5

None. Physics prevents us from traveling faster than, or even the speed of light--not god.

Answer 6

Then it would've been either a translation or the 11th commandmanet. but there was no such commandement.

Answer 7

then everyone would travel faster then light

Answer 8

The commentary would have been "Light travels?"

Answer 9

Then, dammit! I'm gonna try to travel 186,001 miles per second!

Answer 10

None, because it's a pretty tough one to break!
