This person would disintegrate into its forming atoms!
But, if he had protection (I don´t know how), if it was a round trip (150,000 km away), you would not miss him. Hey! I just went to the moon and came back in the blink of the eye!

Assuming you could do such a thing, several things happen. First of all, you shrink in the direction of travel. Second, time slows down for you. Third, you get more massive. Stars ahead of you and behind you would be invisible and you would see a flickering ring of stars around you at a ninety degree angle from your direction of travel. The stars would appear to go through the colors of the rainbow as they went past this point. Truth be told though, you can theoretically never reach the speed of light since your increase in mass would become so great that as you neared c (the speed of light) there wouldn't be enough energy in the entire universe you give you that last little push to reach c.

No material body can reach or exceed the speed light,186,000 miles per second. According to special relativity the greater the speed or velocity a material object moves the greater the mass of that object. The larger the mass the greater amount of energy it takes to move that mass. As a material body approaches closer and closer to the speed of light the mass also increases very rapidly actually approaching infinite mass and of course the energy to necessary to move that mass also increases toward an infinite value. This why the only elementary particle that travels at the speed of light is a particle of light itself, the photon (a quantum of pure electromagnetic energy), which has a rest mass of zero.

There is something called "Velocity Time Dilation". Basically: as something approaches the speed of light, it's time is go slower than the time of the rest of the universe.
If you manage to get to the speed of light, it will look to everyone else like your time has stopped. (The funny thing is that it will look to you like the rest of the universe is slowing down!)
Also, the faster you travel, the shorter the distance appears to you. At the speed of light, you will be able to get anywhere instantly.
The only problem is that as you get to the speed of light, your mass will increase. Putting more energy into making you go faster will result in you getting heavier, which will make it more difficult to go faster!

Hmm initially all someone can not vacation on the speed of sunshine becuuse for anyonr to vacation on the speed of sunshine the mass could almost be negligible. all of us understand E= mc`2 and we also understand E= hv v=freq, h= planks consistent h v = m c`2 c`2 = h v / m c = sqrt ( h v / m ) the c is p.c. of sunshine and that's inversly proportional to mass so it is going like this if mass is way less p.c. is extra. or is mass is extra p.c. is way less. therefore out mass is amazingly intense as compared to photons. therefore we received't vacation on the speed of sunshine. hypothetically also if we evaluate that we may be able to travell on the speed if elementary we will be earlier than time. it quite is we will be in the destiny.. i wish u have were given it crystal sparkling..

It is supposed to be impossible. As a object approaches the speed of light it grows to infinity and therefore requires infinite energy to do so.

the person will travel into the future cos everything including time will stand still

it won't happen, so don't worry about it
