If you could travel in a space ship at the speed of light, would you become a beam of light?

Question

I have a theory that matter and energy are at two opposite ends of a continuum and that accelerating matter changes it into energy while matter, when slowed down sufficiently, assuming it is possible, will become matter.

Answer 1

it is not possible to reach the speed of light. The speed of light is a limit. Anything travelling at that speed ahs a mass infinity. So how can a spcae ship of some definite mass travel at that speed. Anyways, I liked your question. Can certainly confuse the odds.

Answer 2

The Power required to accelerate a space craft to the speed of light would chalenge the Structural energy holding it to gether.
Therefore the Space craft would become itself nothing but miromass radiation.
Matter breaks down two ways=the bulk of matter is the space substance, the other is the mass structure.
When mass moves and the amount of motion that it has describes its energy.
Science has not yet Understood how the phenomena of energy was born.
Mass is matter ,whereas energy is a phenomenon.

Answer 3

Your question is garbled. How can slowing down matter cause it become matter. The first part you got right, if you want to travel at the speed of light, you must become light,

Answer 4

E = M (C) ^2 right?

Therefore if you accelerate mass sufficiently it should convert to energy. So yes, you are right.

Answer 5

If you traveled along rt 5 in California in a buick at 60 mph would you become a buick?!

Answer 6

you would be squished up, wouldn't age much, but you wouldn't become transformed into light or a photon--but it's only a thought question since none of us is going to come near the speed of light.
