If I can move at the speed of light?

Question

If I can move at the speed of light how many people can I kill?

Answer 1

If you can move at the speed of light it means you don't have mass. If you don't have mass I doubt you would kill anybody.

Answer 2

All of them.

Answer 3

1, considering the intermolecular bonds that hold you together would break apart at .02c

Answer 4

Ask Stephen Hawking

Answer 5

lol, i believe u would kill urself first by attempting to do that

Answer 6

You could kill 7,000 people before a minute is up. About 12 per second.

Answer 7

Probably none. Unless 1 or 2 happened to be directly in your path. At the speed of light, you would quickly be away from the surface of the earth, and that's where most people happen to be.

Answer 8

I cannot decide

Answer 9

You wouldn't be able to move at the speed of light to begin with.  As your speed approaches the speed of light, your mass approaches infinity, which also means the energy needed to accelerate you to that speed would approach infinity.

Impossible.

But yeah IF you could, then you would destroy everything in the universe including yourself.

Answer 10

Everyone and everything in the Universe, including yourself.

For an object to reach light speed would require infinite energy and it's mass would be infinite. Relativistic mass is given by:

m' = m / √(1 - (v²/c²))

As v approaches c the denominator approaches 0, so at v = c the relativistic mass is infinite.
