1- When people say "nothing can travel faster than the speed of light", to what exactly do they refer? Do they simply mean the narrow band of visible light that is perceived by humans? What about UV light band and Gamma rays etc.?
2- If visible light /could/ be accelerated, electromagnetically, into the ultraviolet spectrum or beyond, would it become 'invisible' to the naked human eye (ie. Project Rainbow/Philadelphia exp.)?
3- /If/ something where already 'invisible' to the naked eye, using electromagnetism to accelerate the system's energy into the UV spectrum or beyond, would it be possible to 'see' it by viewing the objects electromagnetism with a specially adapted UV sensitive lens?
4- How would one construct such a lens to view UV energy (either near or far)?
Cheers.
