If you are travelling at the speed of light and turn your headlights on what will happen?

Your headlights will illuminate the roadway in front of you (or the spaceway or whatever), just as if you were driving on a road and turned on your headlights under those circumstances. The light will leave the headlights at the speed of light (for the medium through which it is taveling) regardless of how fast you are going. The speed of light is a constant, no matter what your frame of reference. That is what Einstein said. The speed of light, c, is always the same (for the medium through which it is traveling), regardless of who measures it and whether or not that person is in motion relative to another observer. Both observers will get the same result measuring c. Time changes in different frames of reference, different inertial frames. That's why the speed is the same.

of the headlights, you would find that it's leaving you at the speed of light.

If you are travelling at the speed of light and fire a bullet what would happen?
it is impossible to fire a bullet a the speed of light
If you were traveling at the speed of light in a car what would happen if you turned on the headlights?
Nothing
If you travel at the speed of light in a car and turn your headlights 'ON' What will Happen?
To travel at the speed of light you would have to BE light so i guess you would became an even brighter light The switch to turn on the lights will work but no light will come on as you are already at that speed
Are there any galaxies that have travelled faster than the speed of light?
Travelling faster than the speed of light is not possible, therefore no galaxies have travelled or are travelling faster than the speed of light.
How does particle acquire speed such as the speed of light?
Photons begin their existence travelling at the speed of light, they do not "acquire" this speed.
What happens if you are driving a car at the speed of light and you cut your headlights on?
They'll leave your car at the speed of light, and when that light passes anybody, they'll measure the speed of the light as it passes them to be the speed of light.
What is the maximum recession velocity of the galaxy observed?
Some of the furthest galaxies are believed to be "travelling" faster than the speed of light. They are not actually "travelling" faster than the speed of light, but creating space, faster than the speed of light.
What are heat waves called that are travelling at the speed of light?
radiation
When you are traveling at the speed of light what happens when you turn on your headlights?
In theory you would not see them because there is no way of the light getting to you because for that to happen you would need to travel slower than the light or the light would have to be coming from the opposed direction
Could you detect an object travelling in excess of the speed of light.?
Probably not. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light.
Will you move into another galaxy?
Not in the near future. Other galaxies are hundreds of thousands, or millions, of light-years away; travelling at the speed of light, it would thus take millions of years to travel to most galaxies; travelling at a lower speed would, of course, take longer.Not in the near future.

How many minutes away is the mooon?
None or Infinity. What speed are you travelling? Are we walking or travelling the speed of light? Temporal distance is entirely dependant on velocities.
