Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

What happens if you are travelling at the speed of light and turn on your headlights? :?

I’m NOT, as some people think, condescending!

(That means talking down to people.)

Met a grumpy golfer yesterday.
His true feelings came to the fore.

The real question is, if you are travelling faster than the speed of light and you turn on the forward facing lights, do they become charging devices because light would be flowing into them rather than being projected out? :ugeek:

T1,
I suspect that the light would try to break free of your headlights, and either overheat the lenses to melting point, or escape briefly (because its speed relative to your vehicle would be the speed of light) then when it exited the lens it would be doing twice the speed of light (relative to the external space), thus coming to a screaming halt. Your headlights would collide with the relatively stationary light and be pulverised, leaving you in the dark.
We then have to calculate the speed of light in the dark to see what happens next.
Regards & God bless,

If the vehicle is travelling towards the light source at the speed of light, the light hitting the reflector and concentrating the light into the bulb would be travelling at the speed of light as well, so the light coming into contact with the bulb would be travelling at twice the speed of light forcing the light into the bulb and stopping any light being generated by the bulb because the speed of the light going in would be double the speed of the light trying to escape ..... dark energy explained :lol:
