The easy answer is no. The more complicated answer is...let's look at the question later when we know much more about the universe. The reason for believing it is impossible is that the kinetic energy of a mass become INFINITE at the speed of light. There are known particles (cosmic rays) that travel at 99.99+% the speed of light, and they have huge energies, even though they are merely single atomic nucleii. So exceeding the speed of light looks logically impossible.

How can you measure your break speed?

You can use a radar gun to measure your break speed. On a simpler level, there is a smartphone app called Break Speed, which does just that.


What would happen if a train were traveling at the speed of light and on top of it was a moving car?

According to Stephen Hawkings (you can watch his study on time travel to answer this question) the speed of light is like the "speed limit" for the universe. Nothing exceeds the speed of light. So if you have a train that's travelling at the speed of light (which is impossible, it can travel close but not exactly at the speed of light), and a car is moving on top of it, isn't that technically breaking the "speed limit" or exceeding the speed of light? That's not possible, instead physics would "autocorrect" that and instead of having the car move fast enough to break the "speed limit", time would be slowed down, meaning the car would be slowed down, just enough so that it doesn't break the speed limit. Simply it means, if you were inside that car, time would be passing really slowly. While a week passes for the person in the car, one hundred years would pass in regular time.

The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.

The speed of light.


How fast does an object need to move to break the speed of sound?

Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, which means you have to travel faster than that to break the light barrier. This feat is technically "impossible", since the faster you move, the more mass you have and the more mass you have, the more energy is required to move you, and by the time you reach the speed of light, you will need to have infinite energy. This doesn't apply to light particles, since they have no mass.


Where is Chevy Venture wheel speed sensor location?

It is located in the wheel hub. If the speed sensor fails, you have to replace the hub.If you have an ABS light coming on and the ABS computer says the speed sensor, don't rule out the wires as we had our speed sensor wires break. They were so thin that they couldn't even be soldered, so it is not surprising that they could break.


How was the speed of light measured?
