if the human travels at the speed of light then will he be transformed into energy?

Answer 1

I don't think so, but I am sure that if he were driving a car at the speed of light and he turned on his headlights—they would still work.

Answer 2

According to the theory of transformation, proposed by Lorenz and confirmed by Eienstien; as you approach the speed of light, Length Decreases, Mass Increases, and Time dialates, slowing down relative to your point of origin. According to this theory, at the speed of light, the math becomes invalid due to division by zero. Length would be Zero (you become two dimensional), your Mass would be infinite, and time would stop (again, relative to your origin.)

According to current thereotical physics (at least the stuff i'm familiar with) you need to be able to tap into energies of more than three spacial dimensions to achieve faster than light travel. In String Theory, we're all just made up of energy anyway, so no matter to energy conversion would take place. In other words, the freqency of the energy would change if what we perceive as a matter to energy conversion were taking place.

The speed of light is not possible with conventional travel methods. Lets say you have the space shuttle rockets propelling a craft though space, the faster you go, the more mass you gain (due to the theories of transformation and relativity), just on your velocity alone. Eventually your mass becomes so great that the force of your thrust equals your mass. You eventually stop accelerating, long before you hit the speed of light.

With an infinite bank account, and with today's technology, you could build a craft that would reach 60% of the speed of light. Everything else, is just a theory.

Answer 3

150 years ago man would disintegrate if he traveled more than 50 miles per hour, then it was bumped to the speed of sound, now it's OK. You're asking if an assumption based on a theory is correct. 1000 years ago you would have been imprisoned and killed for saying that earth travels around the sun or that the earth was anything but flat. I don't swallow any of it. The speed of light has not been proven as terminal. Different wave lengths of light travel at different speeds and to think that we've detected everything in this universe is beyond arrogance.
It's just an assumption based on a theory.

Answer 4

An infinite amount of energy would be needed to get a human up to the speed of light. An infinite amount of energy would be all the energy in the universe, therefore there wouldn't be any energy left over for the human to transform into.

Answer 5

The human would not be transformed into energy to reach the speed of light, he would have to be energy in the first place for it to even be possible. As matter gains speed, it gains mass, so the only way a human could reach those speeds is not in human form.

Answer 6

Most likely, in order to really travel at the speed of light, and not just travelling through something that shortens the distance (warping space), he would have to be transformed into energy. Because, only energy can travel at the speed of light.

Answer 7

Yes. E = Mc^2 gives the rest energy of a particle, which is also equal to the kinetic energy of that particle were it to travel at the speed of light.

However, it takes an infinite amount OF energy to push even an electron (lightest real 'particle' we can work with) to the speed of light. This is because energy is different in different reference frames, and as the reference frame of the electron nears that of the speed of light, the amount of energy we feed it from ours asymptotically goes to zero.

Answer 8

1st of all its not possible, not with the technology we ve, and even if da person succeed he will burst into million pieces. No 1 can live at the speed of light, u will collapse, and splash.

Answer 9

maybe hed be invisible?? because you couldnt see him...

Answer 10

No he will die
