Best Answer

No, a person can not run at the speed of light. To make something move faster and faster you need more and more energy, and the more mass it has, even more energy it needs to move. The reason why light can travel at its own speed is because it has no mass, and it would take an infinite amount of energy to make something with even the slightest amount of mass to make something move at the speed of light.

Is it true that lions can run faster than the speed of light?

Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light, and nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. The faster an object travels, the heavier it gets. An object traveling near the speed of light would weigh countless tons and be too heavy to move. Neutrinos (sub atomic particles) which might travel faster than light have no mass and are not effected by the increase in weight with the increase in speed. Lions can only run about 20 mph, much slower than the speed of light. Cheetahs can only run about 25 mph. again, much slower than light speed.


What happens if you are going the speed of light?

No particle can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum. Only massless particles can travel at the speed of light because as speed increases, the mass of the particle also increases, and the amount of energy it takes to accelerate it increases. As a particle (with mass) approaches the speed of light, the amount of energy needed to accelerate it approaches infinity. There is one exception to the speed limit of the speed of light and that is the speed of a particle moving through a material medium. (For instance, glass has an index of refraction of about 1.5 which tells us that light moves through glass at a speed that is about 66% of its speed in a vacuum.) High energy particles can move through materials faster than light can move through the material. When that occurs, there is an interesting phenomenon called Cherenkov radiation. This radiation is simply light, but it results when any charged particle moves through a medium faster than light move through the same medium. (See related links.)

Can you go the speed of light?

no, it is impossible the fastest you can go is 99.9 the speed of light , even if u run on the ship nature will slow u down, if u over come it there is a 99.9% u will destroy the universe. The only thing that can go the speed of light is light.


Can a human run light speed?

Light speed is over one billion kilometers per hour. Not only can a human not run that fast, no spaceship can ever travel that fast, at least according to the laws of physics as we currently understand them.
