How long would it take you to get to Antares going the speed of light?

If I were able to travel at the speed of light, I would arrive at Rigel instantaneously, from my point of view. It would seem longer to you as an observer on earth. Rigel is estimated to be between 700 and 900 light years from earth, so between 700 and 900 years would elapse on earth before my instantaneous arrive there.

∙ 9y agoBetelgeuse is at a distance of 640 light years while Rigel is at a distance of 860 light years. So the minimum distance if they were exactly lined up is 220 light years.
In addition they appear about 15 degrees apart in the sky from where we are, so the distance between them can be calculated by the cosine rule because the three points Earth, Betelgeuse, Rigel form a triangle:
d-squared is 640 squared + 860 squared minus 2 x 640 x 860 x cos (15 degrees) and that comes out at d equal to 293 light years.

Would Light protons stop you if you were going at the speed of light?
No - you would be stopped BEFORE you reach the speed of light, by your increasing mass (among other things). As your speed approaches the speed of light, your mass would approach infinity, and it would require an infinite energy to actually achieve the speed of light.Note that the "speed of light" is not really about light. It is a speed limit of our Universe; some have described it as the "speed of causality".
How does the speed of light change when it enters the water?
That would depend what it enters from. If the light is transitioning from air to water,its speed decreases. If it's going from jello to water, its speed increases.
How fast does light travel to Jupiter?
At light speed it would take 20 to 40 minutes going from earth, and 50 minutes going from the sun.
Are nao seconds faster than the speed of light?
No. It's not possible to go faster than the speed of light. The speed of light takes all the energy in the universe and if you somehow did manage to get going that fast you would cease to exist.
How long does it take to get to the sun at the speed of light?
at the speed of light, a little over 8 minuets.

What is the approximate time it would take to travel a light year?
if you are going the speed of light, it would take 1 year.
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.
How much energy you would produce if you were going the speed of light?
Since no object with mass can reach the speed of light -- such an object can only approach that speed -- the question is meaningless.

If your vehicle speed sensor is going out would that cause your check engine light to come on?
It could

What would you see if you were on a train travelling at 2 3rds the speed of light and looked out the window whilst a train travelling at the same speed was going in the opposite direction?
You would see the other traing going by you at nearly the speed of light. This may seem counter-intuitive, but that's what happens. The speed of light is an immutable constant that does not care about your frame of reference. In the braydeon domain, nothing moves faster than the speed of light, regardless of frame of reference.
Would stars streak by if you were going the speed of light?
You CAN'T go AT the speed of light. In theory, it might be possible to travel CLOSE to the speed of light; in which case, the answer is yes - since time passes much slower for you. From your point of view, the distances in the direction you are traveling would get much shorter.
If your in a spaceship going 90 percent the speed of light and you shine a flashlight on an onboard vacuum chamber in the same direction that the spaceship is moving how fast is the flashlight light?
I'd imagine it would go the speed of light because time would slow down to make sure the light wouldn't go faster than the speed of light.
