Rachel IF YOU ARE IN A VEHICLE TRAVELLING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS 14 minutes ago Like Comment Anna likes this Capt'n Andre question contradicts Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity which states that no object with mass CAN travel at, or above, the speed of light (c). As your car approaches c, its resistance to acceleration (mass) increases so that it would take an impossibly infinite force to actually reach c. Your question, then, is based on an impossible premise. It's like asking 'what would happen if I reached the North Pole and kept going north?As you approach the speed of light with your headlights on, however, you would still measure the light beam racing away from your car at 186,000 miles per second (c). A stationary' observer watching this happen, though, would not then measure the beam's speed at almost twice c. Relativity says that all observers always get the same measurement for c.while that may not sound logical or plausible, it happens because what we normally think of as fixed concepts--length and time--are both variable at high speeds. If you observed a car travelling past you at close to c, its length in the direction of travel would appear shortened and the passage of time on board would appear slowed down.Although these ideas sound strange to all of us not used to moving at relativistic speeds, they have all been confirmed experimentally 11 minutes ago Like 2 people Your Rachel 9 minutes ago Unlike 3 people
