if a plane is traveling at the speed of light...when you put the head lights on will you see them in frount???

Answer 1

This apparent anomaly is the result of an imperfect understanding of Relativity.
All speed is measured relative to a reference state - often called the 'observer'. If the observer is remote from the plane, then the time-scale of that plane will stop RELATIVE to the observer. The question of the speed of the headlight beam then becomes meaningless.
If, on the other hand, the observer is riding in the plane, then its speed RELATIVE to that observer is zero and the headlight follows its normal pattern of behaviour.

Answer 2

If the head lights were devised in such a way that they used the power of laser, then the light given from the laser would be visible infront of the plane. This is obviously only in theory but speed of light can be increased by use of laser.

Answer 3

This theoretical question has been posed before. From what we know (or think we know) and if we accept the premise that speed of light travel is possible, then faster-than-light travel would also be possible. The classical physics analogy would be, "Is it possible to run faster than a speeding train." The answer is "Yes", if you are inside the train, running through it in the direction it is traveling.

Answer 4

Well... you can't travel at the speed of light, but according to relativity you would see the light, because the speed of light is constant. So, even if you were going the speed of light, the light you created would travel away from you at the speed of light.

Answer 5

Yes of course you could. what a silly question, and you might even notice as you start your vehicle the plane travelling at the speed of light whooshing past you, since from my understanding headlights are something on a motorvehicle not an airplane. of course it might be easier to see them at night :P

Answer 6

A plane can't travel at the speed of light!!!

Answer 7

No. No material object can travel as fast as light. If it could (which it can't), time would stop and distance would be zero and mass would be infinite. So when traveling at the speed of light (which you can never do) you would be frozen in time and the distance to the most remote galaxy in front of you would be zero. All events, from your birth to your death to the turning on of the light to the death of the sun would occur at the same time, from your point of view if you were traveling at the speed of light (which you could never do). Believe it or not.

Answer 8

you certainly may be, besides the fact that it would be impossible to do. As mater travels swifter and swifter it shops kinetic means, the technique of action. That means is expressed as an exceedingly moderate enhance in mass. it rather is a genuine element. in case you throw a baseball the mass of the baseball will enhance slightly because of the means you imparted to it by making use of throwing it. because of the fact it rather is an exceedingly small volume of means the mass enhance is rather rather tiny. The mass enhance is rather moderate if the article is moving slowly. besides the fact that, if the article is traveling close to to the fee of sunshine the upward push in mass is great. in actuality to be triumphant in the suitable velocity of sunshine the mass of the article will become infinite. So in case you have been traveling one million mile in keeping with hour under the fee of sunshine your weight may be just about infinite. in case you have been then to objective to run your mass might could enhance to infinite, that's impossible and that's why you may not commute the on the fee of sunshine, not to point out swifter. by making use of the way mild itself can commute on the fee of sunshine basically because of the fact it has no mass. in actuality mild can basically commute on the fee of sunshine. there is not any such element as a table sure photon. it rather is ether traveling or it does not exist.

Answer 9

Yes. Confusing as it may sound, yes, according to Einsten's theory of relativity.

And an observer standing outside that frame of reference will also see the light beam travelling at the speed of light.

Challenging to wrap your mind around it, but that's because all our experiences are in classical Newtonian mechanics, not relativistic mechanics, so we think of speeds as additive. But under relativistic conditions, that doesn't work

Answer 10

Well now, dear old Albert Einstein says that the speed of light is fixed, & so, according to him, we can't see "in front " of it. But, personally, I think that yes, we would be able to see "into the future"
