It seems like spumwack is doing a series about depressing but awesome science demonstrated by Minecraft. Fun fact: this is actually the same guy from www.youtube.com/user/TheMinecraftMuse
The 'what you would see' part at 4:13 is not really true.
If you are a light beam, and travel with the speed of light, time stands still for you because of time dilatation.
And you can see if you substutute v = c (you can say the universe moves with speed c(speed of light) relative to you), for every \Delta t of you, the \Delta t' that the universe experiences becomes infinite.
The faster you go, the slower your clock.
Also, you won't actually travel because the distance you travel is reduced to 0 because of length contraction.
The faster you go, the shorter the distance you travel.
So, you won't travel any distance because there is no distance in your perspective, and it won't take you any time to travel that distance.
Look, I just gave a small lecture in Special Relativity on memebase :D
You're welcome (to the two or three interested people)
