givin that light trvels away from anything at the speed of light even away from a space ship traveling @ speed

Question

light travels at 670,616,629.384 miles per hour so in theory if we build a wall in a circle with a radius of that distance or to scale it down/60 then 60 again to give us 19615.7304 to give us miles per second we in theory we coud run around this wall in one second at the speed of light , correct? but if we then reduce the wall by a factor of 1000 it leave us with a circumference of 19.6157, meaning we would then have to travel the wall at a speed of 60000 revs a minute from center to travel at the same speed on the wall , the speed of light if we then / by pye we get a radius for this circular wall of 6.2341 a bit easier to visualise. if at dead center we have a laser shining vertically on to a prism which reflects the beam to the wall and the laser is then spun at 60,000 revs a minut , the licht dot on the wall will then race around the wall at the speed of light,correct? my question is what happens ot the light dot if the speed is increased by a small amount,,,, a timewarp?

Answer 1

the dot of light is not an actual object. it is a stream of photons hitting the wall. once the photons hit the wall, they bounce off. all the photons that bounce off are constantly being replaced. the dot could easily be moved so that it appears to be an object traveling faster than light. in fact, if you point the laser into space and move it, at some point out there, the beam is moving at the speed of light and even faster past that point. this is not the same thing as having matter move faster than light. sorry, no time warp.

Answer 2

skill travels on the speed of light. So even if you turn your complete deliver into organic skill the optimal speed is the speed of light. there is not something that could shuttle speedier than the speed of light by area. the really thanks to do it truly is to administration area itself, the commonly used behind in call for human being Trek's warp force. The deliver, relative to the community area it truly is in, is travelling at a speed slower than the speed of light yet somehow the warp force strikes the full community area that the deliver sits in. there is no speed decrease on how in a well timed fashion area itself might want to bypass.

Answer 3

spinning will not give energy to photons to change their tangential speed which will remain 0 (the photons will have a rectilinear trajectory), because emission of photons is a quantum phenomena and spinning is mechanic.

(the link between quantum and Newtonian mechanics is unknown, does not seem to be one, although both describe same world)

on the wall the light dot will appear to go on and off as it move across the wall because of the gap between to consecutive photons.

but imagine that wall is not there... what will happen with the photons?

nice question.

Answer 4

An interesting proposal...but building the wall may be, in practice, impossible. I would have to work out the actual equations. You would also have to consider: in what environment would the wall be built? Exterior factors can affect the effectiveness of the wall.

Answer 5

It is possible to send data 2x + faster then the speed of light it'self....Another oop's Einstein made was Relativity...It's Vacuum
And there is a third way to produce Energy..( Hydro-Magnetic Energy ) C\C or Constant Current... By means of a Regulated Hydro-Magnetics

Answer 6

Thats just like using a very bright light on earth to cast a shadow on the moon, by putting your finger in front of it.

Then wiggle your finger, the shadow on the moon will move at over the speed of light.

but its not an object!

Answer 7

I like your theory but.... CAN YOU BUILD THE WALL?
