Can you imagine what kind of object or energy would exceed the speed of the light (one day...)?

Question

I think its possible and that will be a kind of travel in a new space or in the time

campbelp2002 : dont't be so sure
by some experiences we already exceeded the speed of the light (I precise that it was in a liquid ) some energy exaches in the water have C as speed while the light moves with less velocity than C in the water ;°)

Answer 1

Is it really possible, isn't it just theory?

Answer 2

The outskit of the Universe has been estimated to have a radius vector of about 15 blillion light years.
That means if one is to travel at the speed of light to the outside of the Universe He would be traveling a distance of 1.42x10^26 meters.However it would take him 15 billion year at that speed.
The speed of light is just too slow to travel beyound the dimension of the Universe.
A Particle mass of light travels,in local Space, a distance of 4.05 x10^-35 meters in 1.351643599 x10^-43 seconds.It goes thru an energy process and carries an energy of =6.62075500 x10^-34 joules and moves with the Power of 4.902235698 x 10^9 Joules per seconds that caused its motion.
Therefore ; when our Soul goes to HEAVEN ,to get there in a reasonable time , the speed of light has to be exceeded many folds.
That means That Spirit can travel faster than a Particle mass of Light.
Therefore ,saying that nothing travels faster than light ,appears to be a little bit exagerated.

Answer 3

It is not possible. For something to go faster than light it would need an infinite amount of energy. There isn't that much energy in the entire universe. Besides that, think about it... as you go faster, time slows down for you, as you approach light speed it comes to a stop. If you travel faster than light this would mean time going backwards. This makes no sense.

Answer 4

Nothing can ever be seen to travel faster than light. If there are 2 people, one on Earth and one in a space ship leaving Earth at the speed of light, and the one in the space ship shoots a really fast bullet ahead of him at the speed of light, he really does see that bullet going away from his space ship at the speed of light. But the person back on Earth does NOT see that bullet going twice the speed of light. He sees it only going at the speed of light, the same speed as the space ship, just staying the same distance from it all the time. So relativity does not say that if you are going the speed of light that you can't speed up, it says that no matter how much you speed up, nobody can ever see you moving faster than light. To make this possible, time and space warp for differently for different people, depending on how fast they are already going, to make everything in the universe appear to be going as slow or slower than light.

Answer 5

Here's what we know:

1) According to special relativity, it would take an infinite amount of energy to make soemthing with mass go the speed of light. As the velocity gets closer to the speed of light, the amount of energy required increases very quickly.

2) The predictions of special relativity are validated in particle accelerators where protons and electrons are moving faster than 99.999% of the speed of light.

3) According to special relativity, to make a mass of one gram go 86% of the speed of light would take as much energy as was released in the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. For that gram to go 99% of the speed of light would take as much energy as is released in a hydrogen bomb.

4) We have *never* seen anything go faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. The experiments where light is slowed down in a material are irrelevant in this regard. Once again: we have NEVER seen ANYTHING go faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.

So, at this point, there is no evidence at all that going faster than the speed of light in a vacuum is possible and all sorts of evidence that it is impossible. If you can find any experimental evidence that relativity is wrong in this regard, you will be instantly famous (assuming it is verified). Good luck!

Answer 6

I've been asking myself this same question. Light is made out of photons, which have no mass. So for something to go that fast you'd need something without mass or entirely made up of energy. Everything in made out of energy. Energy is the only one thing that cannot be created or destroyed but can be lost. To create something you need energy and to destroy you need it also, makes sense right? In order to accelerate with the speed you need infinite energy, but then again everything is made out of energy, so perhaps it can be gathered in some yet, undiscovered way, to achieve that speed. In this science everything is a subject to change, there is no ultimate truth only present truth. Remember once it was believed that the Earth is flat, and here we are today...

Answer 7

With our current knowledge of astrophysics it is impossible to go faster then light.

This does not mean it is impossible. It means that all that we know makes it impossible. We do not know everything.

It may be possible to go faster then light with the right power source. This may have something to do with the dark matter that we think exists or it may not.
We as a species are only reaching the beginning of our knowledge of astrophysics.

Answer 8

they can already measure the group velocity of light to be faster than the accepted speed of light but to send any form of information is impossible because it is totally scrambled.
i guess in the future they might invent advanced fibre optics and then a form of electromagnetic raidation containing information could be sent faster than the speed of light.

Answer 9

They are called tachyons, they exist in another universe and believe or not scientists have been trying to detect one at the edge of our universe, so far they have had no luck.

Answer 10

For it to be possible, you would have to convert all your mass to energy, and then somehow gain more energy..... Sounds impossible to me.

Answer 11

lightning strikes can come at speed of light
