What is faster than the speed of the light?

Answer 1

In Hindu Ethics we call it as ' Mind speed ' Which is the most fastest one that any other.Your imagination go faster to the outer space and can come back in One lack of a Milli second.

Answer 2

No. In Relativity, c puts an absolute limit to speed at which any object can travel, hence, nothing, no particle, no rocket, no space vehicle can go at faster-than-light (=superluminal) speeds. However, there are some cases where things appear to move at superluminal speeds, such as in the following examples: 1. Consider two spaceships moving each at 0.6c in opposite directions. For a stationary observer, the distance between both ships grows at faster-than-light speed. The same is true for distant galaxies that drift apart in opposite directions of the sky. 2. Another example: Consider pointing a very strong laser on the moon so that it projects a dot on the moon's service and then moving the laser rapidly towards Earth, so that it points on the floor in front of you. If you accomplish this in less than one second, the laser dot obviously travelled at superluminal speed, seeing that the average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,403,000 m

The speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s in a vacuum. The symbol used in Relativity for the speed of light is "c", which probably stands for the Latin word "celeritas", meaning swift.

Is the speed of light really constant?

The speed of light is constant by definition in the sense that it is independent of the reference frame of the observer. Light travels slightly slower in a transparent medium, such as water, glass, and even air.

Answer 3

Nothing.

All the answers claiming something can travel faster than light are strictly scifi. Tachyons, for example, were conceived when someone asked "But what if something could travel faster than light, what would that something be like?" And that's where tachyons came from.

And all that bit about curved space etc. is total scifi as well. Even Hawking radiation, which emits from black holes, does not exceed light speed. And space is about as curved as it gets around black holes. There is no such thing as warp speed..."Beam me up Scotty."

Answer 4

a thought....A worlds in the space are so distant to each other, also for being protected (there integrity and independent developement) from the malicious attempts from the side. Sometimes just knowing the things is more then sufficient to disturb ones normal developement. I belive, that material life will remain agresive for ever, hence will be protected forever by the malicious influence of others. It is written: ..."and hi will not enter before being called"...to be short as possible: only eternal spirit is out of the low of materia, and can be here and there at the same time, and will take you in your body to the other worlds if it should be good (and necessary) for you and for ethernal order.

Answer 5

According to the theory of relativity nothing is faster than light.

Answer 6

Nothing physical. Phase velocities of waves and other purely geometrical phenomena can be greater than c, but the phase velocity is not the velocity of an actual physical entity.

Answer 7

The correct answer is technically nothing. But one can over come this limitation through various tricks. Such as accelerating through the center of a large space time curve generated by a piece of cosmic string (if such things exist).

Answer 8

Tachyons.

Answer 9

S U P E R M A N !!!!!!! Oh wait.....that a speeding bullet.

Answer 10

speed of thought
