We can't even see a bullet with the size of a marble which travels at slower speed compared to the light.

No; the only reason we see light even though it's moving that fast is because it's continually reflecting of the things we see back into our eyes. Just think, when you turn on the lights in a room, you can't see the light traveling away from the light bulb into the rest of the room, all you see is instant light everywhere; it just travels that fast.
There's also the fact that our brain doesn't register input from our eyes continually, more like really fast snapshots of what we see. That's what makes animation possible-otherwise we would see the frame changes. If we can't even watch TV without thinking that the images are continually moving (not in frames, actual movement), a marble moving over ten times that speed would most definitely go unnoticed.

for starters, a marble couldn't go the speed of light; so let's say that it went by at very close to the speed of light. At that relativistic speed, space in the direction of motion contracts. So you would see a marble flattened in the direction of motion, a very thin marble, a pancake.

well supposedly only energy can travel at the speed of light because the kinetic energy would rip anything to pieces. another theory was that one cannot have any mass to travel the speed of light. if anything did go at the speed of light, if you saw it before hand when it started then it could look as big as the universe...

No, it would actually be light of some other type of radiation so you wouldn't be able to see it. Something that is matter,CANNOT travel at the speed of light.

You probably wouldnt see a marble going 100 MPH past you.

well according to einstein, nothing can accelerate to the speed of light, and according to special relativity, any mass traveling at the speed of light would be infinately massive so... not only would we not see it, we would not be concious... of anything

no, i dont think so if its at the speed of light

No, but you would know it went past you. The heat, from friction, would severely burn you. The noise would deffen you. The bright light would blind you.
