The driver's would feel a nameless dread. Well, there probably is a long German name for it, like Geschpooklichkeit or something, but I don't speak German. Anyway, it's a dread that nobody knows the name for, like those little square plastic gizmos that close your bread bags. I don't know the name for those either.

Of course.
Because it travels at the speed of light + the speed of light and thus moves forward and is visible.
It's much the same as when someone is in an F-16 flying mach 2 (2 times the speed of sound) and speaks into the radio to ground control...his voice travels at Mach 2 + Mach 1 and can be heard.
Or when you were traveling 8 miles and hour on skates and ****** your arms back and threw a ball forward at 8 miles an hour...the ball travels at 16 miles an hour and you can see it go ahead of you, rather than 0 miles an hour where it stays behing you where your arms was ****** when you released it.

Nothing will happen, the light in any frame of reference whether inertial or non-inertial, remains at the same speed, approximately 3.0 x 10^8 meters per second.
But a car cannot travel faster than the speed of light as nothing will. But say something is travelling just below the speed of light, the headlights will still travel at 3.0x10^8 m/s.

As in celeb Trek: the subsequent technology and previous, quite some the interior lights on the organization are on already even as they bypass swifter than the speed of light. for the reason that mild emits on the speed of light, in case you went swifter than mild %, (it truly is 186,000 miles in step with 2d,) the lights on the deliver (or motor vehicle) might want to fall back and create a path result that would want to in no way seize as a lot because the unique merchandise except it slowed right down to sub-mild % or stopped fullyyt. it truly is why in the outlet call series of ST:TNG, you word the organization take off at warp and a chop up 2d later, the lights and distort nacelles path behind attempting to seize up. --And to Cecil below, who looks to appeal to close each little thing, celeb Trek's effortless technologies is depending in reality, they only outfitted on it to make the educate. Oh, and acceptable job with the lightsabre remark. incorrect series fullyyt. like the "dweeb" remark besides the undeniable fact that! authentic unique!

if a car is travelling faster than speed of light and he turns on hus lights than light will be behind the car as car is travelling at a speed more than that of light

Since he is travelling faster than the maximumm speed that anything can travel, time is flowing backward and each action has the opposite effect.
When he turns his headights on, insted of emitting light, they absorb light energy. The entire universe (in the form of light energy) is instantly absorbed by his headlights, and remains in there until the next Big Bang.
I haven't tested this theory, but I'm pretty sure it is correct.

yes...a car traveling at the speed of light does not make it light (glow or show in the dark)...given the car is traveling in dark space, then we will see the lights go on, and we will know the location of the car at any given moment...

he cant, once you travel past the speed of light you are converted into pure energy, including your car. Einstein wrote about it, search it out....it will really astonish you, that is if you can understand the theory behind his writings

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm telling you YES, turning on the lights is an electrical connection that has nothing to do with the speed of light. If you CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE LIGHT IS A SEPARATE QUESTION.
YOU ASKED "IF ANYTHING WILL HAPPEN" YES YES YES YES, the lights will come on but YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE LIGHT.

It's my opinion that this is a Steven Wright joke.
