Is it possible to travel at light speed for humans?

No. It has been stated that the speed of light can be approached, but people think it would rip a hole in the fabric of time if it happened.


What planet have speed of light?

i don`t think planets travel at the speed of light


Can you go to the future by passing through dimensions in the universe by how much speed?

If it were possible to go any faster than the speed of light, you would see things happening before anybody else does, therefore technically, once we break the barrier for being able to travel faster than the speed of light (which is probably not possible), then yes, it is possible to time travel into the future. (By the way, the speed of light is about 300,000,000 metres per second - so good luck with this!!) However, it is impossible to ever travel back in time. I think I've answered this - hope it helps!


What is the maximum speed at which light can travel?

Light travels at the maximum speed in vacuum, which is found to be 299 729 458 meters per second. Velocity of light is a constant and it cannot be altered. Nothing in the universe can travel greater than that of light. He means nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light. If a particle were to have no mass or negative mass it would be able to travel greater than then the speed of light. But seeing as the only thing i can think of that has no mass is thought. Although i have read the publications of some scientists that are trying to prove that though has mass. The only place things will be able to travel faster then the speed of light will be in our minds, literally.


Can time travel chage the world?

Yes, it can. Right now, a team of scientist just discovered an atom that is faster than the speed of light. Meaning if we go faster than light, it is possible to time travel. Just think, in a few decades from now people could time tavel!


Is it light speed or the speed of light?

speed of light I think well it sounds right:)


At what percentage of the speed of light must one travel in order to feel like going faster than the speed of light?

At a speed 212 000 kilometers per second you have a relativistic gamma of 1.41, and you will time 365 days of travel when travelling one light-year. You would think that effectively you were going at light-speed! An observer would see you going slower though, and would time your trip to over 516 days.


Is it possible to be faster than the speed of light?

Einstein theorises that if one were to travel at the speed of light he would be in a place of timelessness. This maybe because past, present and future are an illusion and actually happen simultaneously.If our consciousness (or imagination if you prefer) were to travel at the speed of light then would we be in a place of timelessness? I am answering a questions with a question, I know, but perhaps someone can comment further and shed some light on the matter (pun intended)


If to travel back in time you had to reach faster than the speed of light how would you stop if in theory you cannot see anything in front or behind you?

I think that if you cut your energy, you would eventually slow down, also, you could induce drag. Relative to its own intertial frame of reference, it is not possible for any object to actually accelerate to the speed of light, let alone surpass it. If you could reach light speed, there would be no passage of time for you.


Why does the faster you travel the slower the time passes?

Everything is relative and time is also relative. Light is the fastest speed in Universe It is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. All the creation is in motion with a certain speed. Speed is the criteria of motion. Thus the fastest motion is directly related to the fastest speed which is speed of light. At the speed of light the motion is fastest and surrounding apparently stands, as it is relatively slower than light. The time factor is the passing of object from one location to other . At almost the speed of light, all other objects moving slower appears to be deceleration or coming to a virtual halt, giving an impression of time being slowed down. If you could travel with a seed of light for one year and return to your original base you will be surprised to know that 1000 of years have passed, but you have grown old by one year only. The speed travel slows down the time and covers incredibly large distances. The faster you travel the slower the time becomes. At speeds higher then speed of light the time goes into negative, meaning that you can travel into past at higher speed of light and can chose your past regulating the light speed factor.


Why is the speed of light important in physics?

The speed of light seems to be a speed limit in the Universe - it isn't possible to transport matter, energy, or information faster than that. Others think that gravity travels faster; Einstein created a universe with an infinate speed of gravity -- it's in the geometry.


What will light travel through and what will be blocked by?

it is a light form i think
