Head Light
What would happen if you are traveling the speed of light in a car, and then turn on the head lights?
would you be able to see light in any direction. would the light never exit the head light covers, what if you traveled slightly faster then the speed of light. could you see the light in your mirror behind you??????
Don’t feel bad, it’s a valid question. The weird thing about light is that it moves at the same speed no matter what frame of reference it is being observed in. In this case, the light shooting out of the car’s headlights would be moving as fast as the car, so it would be impossible to actually “see” it from inside the car. Outside the car, there would be no perceivable difference.
Remember that to see light, you need to have it reach your eyes. If it were possible to go faster that light, you’d never see the light behind you because it would never reach your eyes.
These would all be very unfortunate circumstances because if they were possible, the warping of space and time at the speed of light would cause you to travel infinite distance in an infinitesimal amount of time. This is why you shouldn’t ever ride a bike (or car) at 300,000,000 m/s.
