if you are traveling in a spaceship at the speed of light and you turn the headlights on, will you see the lights in front of you?

well dotty here is the right answer,,
speed of light is 3*10^8 m/s.
we are able to see light because light travel very fast and bounce back from the surface of material,,,
when we are traveling in a car we can see through headlight because light travel very fast and to returns to our eyes,(overall time is neligibel),so when (suppose )we are travelling in a car with speed of light then light and we are at same speed so no relative speed difference between us (that is light and car)so w can't be able to see through light and also while driving the headlight will then not will work as headlight.............if u r unsatisfied with my answer reply me

No you cannot see the lights in front of you.
Scientists have tried to spin several atoms at the speed of light and have proven that if something travels at the speed of light, it becomes light itself.
Therefore, if the spaceship travels at the speed of light, it becomes light too.

This is a purely theoretical question since no ship could ever travel at the speed of light.
However the answer is that in the ships frame of reference the speed of light would still be the same and so you would indeed see the lights in front of you.

no
if you are travelling in a spaceship at the speed of light, you will be so massive that you will not be able to see, let alone turn on the headlights

the speed of light is always the sped of light so yes you will see the lights ahead of you, moving away from you at the speed of light.
