if we travel in the speed of light, could your eyes keep up to see anything?

this question has been asked so many times...(per theory) if you are driving your car in
space or on the earth and turn your headlights on...well since theory is that if you reach
the speed of light you become light therefore your car and you are no longer a solid
visible item. So therefore there will not be any headlights to turn on, you wont be there
to turn them on so therefore the answer is NO.
In the matter to time stretching...this is so the human mind can comprehend the speed.
At 186,282 mps you would be moving so fast so you could cover that distance in 1 second.
So in essence time does not change you are just fast enough to get more done in a second
so a second seems longer.

the easy from the headlight will nevertheless return and forth on the fee of sunshine and not at two times the fee of sunshine as you are able to assume. In Einstein's concept of relativity, the addition of speed takes the kind, s = (v + u)/(a million + (vu/c^2)) the place v and u are the two velocities to be further and c is the fee of sunshine. At velocities we generally affiliate with our on an usual basis adventure, a vehicle's speed to illustrate, say 76mi/hr and ninety mi/hr, the equation for s in fact boils all the way down to s = u + v --> simply by fact the denominator is approximately equivalent to a million as quickly as you attitude relativistic velocities, the denominator will become considerable. on your question the two v and u equals c, and so the denominator term is comparable to 2 s = (c+c)/2 = 2c/2 s = c

No, that's not what Einstein's theory of special relativity says.
It says that light will travel at a constant speed no matter how fast you travel. You will never be able to travel as fast or faster than light. In fact, when you compare your speed to the speed of light it will always be travelling ahead of you at the exact same speed. ~ 300,000 km/s

According to Einstein's theory, it is impossible to travel at the speed of light because the mass of an object approaches infinity as it approaches the speed of light.
Therefore, the question becomes a moot point.

That was basically Einstein's thought experiment. Because of Relativity, your aircraft's light would appear to act normally, moving away from you in all directions at the speed of light. However, the rest of the universe would look a little weird. Because of fore-shortening and time dilation, It would appear to you to be a flat plane that you would cross instantaneously.

yes. as far as your craft's headlight is concerned, the speed of light is zero, thus it would still shine forward & you in your aircraft would actually be travelling faster than the speed of light.

lets get stoned!
Theoritically, Yes. That is what Einstien's Theory Of Relativity explains.
At any speed, Light's relative velocity with you will remain same i.e. 'c', The universal constant.

Theoretically, NO. because velocity of light is same to all irrespective to the observer.
Practically you can't travel with speed of light.
