If There Was A Fly In Your Vehicle
And He Was Flying Forward
While you were traveling At the speed of light
Would The Fly Be Traveling
FASTER Than The Speed Of Light ??
If You turned on the lights
Would The FLY Be Able To See Ahead Of Him??

One thing people fail to remember about light speed travel is that no matter how fast you're going,light will ALWAYS travel away from you at the speed of light.Even light that YOU are supplying! The light from your bulb will rocket away from you at 186,00 miles per second,even if that is also your speed! Atleast that will be YOUR perception.Someone observing you will see it differently though...
Assuming that the objects ahead of you are not illuminated until you turn on your headlights (LOL....that's funny to me) the only difference you will notice is that they are blue-shifted,and incredibly hard to dodge!
I have a hard time with this concept,but many many texts repeat this as fact.My favorite is "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan.Great read.Check it out!

If you were traveling at the speed of light and then turned on the lights, you and the light would both be traveling at the speed of light. The light wouldn't be ahead of you, so you couldn't see ahead of you.

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, if you were traveling at the speed of sound, you would become infinitely massive and dense - so your gravitational field would become so great it would be impossible for the light you turned on to escape your personal gravitational field. Guess the answer is a resounding "no".
But why is this question in the "immigration" section? Thinking of sneaking over the border really, really quickly tonight?

No, we see by the reflection of light off of objects. If we were traveling light speed it could not bounce back because we would be traveling the same speed ...I think we would see the exact same image that we saw when we reached that speed untill we slowed down.

I think this is a really good question because we are moving the light should be movie faster then us because of the Momentum so i would say yes but then again what momentum can light use and when i picture it i see the car going threw the light and it is pitch black in front hmmm time to ask Mythbusters

NO. You'd be travelling as fast as light. Light is the fastest travelling wave in the universe. It behaves like a wave and at the same time it even behaves like a particle. Black holes do NOT suck like vaccum cleaners as people generally imagine. Things only move into them. If light approaches a black hole it can not escape it's density.

This became between the well-known concept experiments that led Einstein to develop his particular concept of relativity. the way he phrased it really is, would you, then, see a mild beam stand nevertheless? the answer became a convincing no, it really is yet another rationalization why not something, ever, except for gentle, can benefit gentle %. we can boost up a particle to, say, ninety 9% the speed of sunshine, and also you could ask, properly, what if we push it a littlle extra sturdy and get it to flow slightly swifter, to ninety 9.ninety 9% the speed of sunshine. even with if lets, the region is that the mass of that particle will improve with out worry the faster it is going. even as it receives to ninety 9.9999999 p.c. the speed of sunshine, the mass is even more effective. To get to 100% the speed of sunshine, the mass will be countless, it really is yet differently of affirming that something with any type of mass at relax can not holiday at gentle %. Ever. hence, no remember what your speed, you'll see a beam of sunshine leave you at about 186,000 miles in accordance to 2d. gentle is consistent, no remember what the reference body. this is an uncomplicated concept yet no individual has been in a position to disprove this in view that Einstein first proposed it in, what, the Thirties? And the experiments to target to disprove it are growing very, very sophisticated in modern-day day testings. in truth, relativity concept is shown further and extra through state-of-the-artwork experiments. one way the fidelity of sunshine is shown is through telescopic statement of the adjustments contained in the gentle of orbiting binary stars as they eclipse one yet another.

If you going the speed of light then the light you turned on would keep up along side you. If you go faster then light, then it would be behind you, and you'll be in total darkness. Catch my drift?

nope, two objects traveling the same speed and direction will see each other as if they were standing still
