if a human could travel at the speed of light in say shuttle,rocked,etc etc, what would everything look like ahead of you?Since technically your eyes would be seeing light at twice the speed it is usually received,plus the wavelengths would be traveling faster into your eye....

Keep a open mind CLICKERHER,if you dont have a answer keep you personal mumbo jumbo to yourself,its called theories,nothing is proven as of yet

Interesting question because you ask what would we see ahead of us..my theory based on what I learned years and years ago is that all would look flat. We would attain a 2 dimensional view because we would have attained infinite mass with no width.

If you were traveling very near the speed of light (since you can't really go the speed of light) things would be blurry and blue shifted, but nothing would be going or appearing faster than light. This is the really trippy thing about the speed of light.... you never just add together velocities if the sum exceeds C.... in other words, if you are going 60% of C, and you pass a spaceship going the opposite direction also at 60% of C, then to each of you it would appear that the other was going by at 99.99% of C, not 120% of C as you would think. Here on earth you can add velocities and still get an accurate answer because the speeds are low, but at relativistic speeds, a whole new set of rules applies.

This question has a lot of complicated implications that are beyond the scope of Yahoo Answers. The general idea is that the speed of light is the same in all reference frames so you can't add velocities to get twice the speed of light.

Nothing having the property of mass can ever attain the speed of light, so it is a question without an answer. Read a book or two on relativity.

light is blueshifted when you travel towards its source.
