  1. Say you flicked the switch at the speed of light (Which is like impossible) the lights will still turn on. You would see light.  


  2. still on

    why?

    because when the light is off in speed of light in that simple theory

    u=v+w/1+vu/c2

  3. it would turn on.

  4. it would be the same thing that would happen if you were not moving because no matter how fast you move light always appears to be moving at 186000 miles per second which is the speed of light relative to the observer

  5. My interpretation, assuming that you could travel at the speed of light in this vehicle and that the lights were directed parallel to your direction, to this question would be that you would not see the light from your headlights. You would be travelling at the same speed as the light it is emmiting and for light to be registered by the brain light particles must come in contact with your pupils.

    It would also depend on what medium you were travelling in... If you are in a vacuum would you see your headlights anyway? there is nothing for the light to be reflected off?

    Although you must ask the question that if you emit light while you are travelling at the speed of light, will the light travel at the speed of light in reference to its origin, your vehicle?

    for example if you shot a gun out of your window the bullet will travel its normal velocity in reference to your vehicle but it will b travelling at the speed of the sum of your vehicles speed and the bullets speed.

    or will it just travell the speed of light in reference to an object with no velocity?

    Interesting question, but im afraid that unless you or me intend on studying physics at the highest level then you probly wont understand the answer anyway. lol

  6. You can't travel at the speed of light, because in effect your mass would be infinite, so there isn't enough energy in the universe to make you move that fast. The equations also show you'd be squashed flat by moving nearly so fast. There's no answer, because it's impossible to have such conditions.

  7. it would turn on


  8. it turn on :)
