if ur in a car travelling at the speed of light u turn on ur headlights would anything happen???

Answer 1

Yeah the passengers in the back would start screaming, "I've seen the light!"

Answer 2

Pay no attention to anyone saying the universe will come to an end! this is the same closed mind set that people use to say about travelling at more then 30 miles per hour would suck the air out of your lungs and kill you we all know that that is not true.

Science has yet to prove that the light barrier can be broken but that said it may be possible.

if the laws of physics still apply then yes you would see the headlights from your car as light has mass it should still carry momentum (the same as if you were travelling at 70 miles per hour and threw an apple form the car it will overtake the car. not because you can throw faster then 70mph but because of the momentum the apple Carry's.

hope this helps.

Answer 3

You wouldn't be able to turn on the headlights because you would have become infinitely small in the direction of travel.

If it was possible for a light source to travel at the speed of light, there would be a build-up of photons in a bow wave across the direction of travel and this would eventually (a few nanoseconds) destroy the light source.

Answer 4

Well since you're already bending the known laws of physics, then the headlights would probably project their beams out in front as normal as the speed of the light would be relative to the forward motion of the car.

Answer 5

You got this question in an sms right???
Well if you are travelling at the speed of light,
then you would not be alive to turn on the headlights! Thats because you would be flattened like a disc!(Atleast thats what Einstein says...)

Answer 6

That's a very interesting question and probably best answered by a quantum physicist but I'll give you my take.The head lights would indeed turn on but the vehicle traveling at about 186,000 miles per second would keep up with the beam emitted from the lights.I think Einstein asked this very same question but no one ever answered it.Not even Stephen Hawking.Is it true he died recently?If so that's a terrible shame and a huge blow to the scientific community.

Answer 7

What are the headlights for? you can't travel on the road at the speed of light. but if you do, the police would also travel at a speed of light and pursue you, and you'll be arrested at a speed of light and you would have to pay at a speed of light also.... "and birds go flying at the speed of light, i mean sound... " lol

Answer 8

i'm not sure what would happen to your mass, because i never looked into einstein's theory, but even if you had your headlights on, you would not be able to see them because you are going at the same speed of the light, so it's like not even having them on.

Answer 9

the sunshine from the headlight would not pass any faster, having reached a time-honored cut back. you would be in eternal darkness, with time exterior of the vehicle out of your referance element moving infinately rapid. the vehicle might benefit attain an infinate mass, and you'd be in finished darkness. that's all of path in case you need to hypothetically attain the cost of sunshine.

Answer 10

ignoring the fact your car would have burnt up at such a high speed, your lights would work, but given you are travelling at the speed of light what is the point in putting them on ?

Answer 11

a typical car does 40mpg, and holds about 13 gallons, which is about enough for 520 miles.

light travels at about 186000 miles a second, so your petrol will last about 28 thousandths of a second

so what will happen is that you will run out of petrol.
