Yes it absolutely is, however, this is not for humans. At particle accelerators, like the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, physics are able to send particles 99.99999% the speed of light. The particles are only 3 meters per second slower than light itself. In turn, physics are able to shoot a particle half the speed of light approx. 150,000 meters per second.

How long does it take light to travel a distance of 2700 light years?

Well, it takes 2,700 years for light to travel that far. Anything travelling at half light-speed would take 5,400 years. At 1/4 light-speed, it would take 10,800 years.

Are any Galaxies moving away at half the speed of light or faster?

Yes. The farthest known galaxies move away from us faster than the speed of light. While this is not possible for nearby objects, in this case space itself is expanding.


What is the amount of time it takes light to travel around the Earth seven and a half times?

speed of light = 299792458 m/s time it takes light to travel around the world = 40075160/299792458 = 0.134 seconds time it takes light to travel around the world 7+1/2 times = 1.005 seconds

It depends opon the speed of the bike.


Which object having velocity more then light?

The speed of light is, theoretically, the maximum speed achievable by any particle or the maximum speed which information may be transfered. There are things that we know of that travel faster but are incapable of carrying information. An example is wave guides. There is a book the title of which is "Things that Travel Faster than Light" which explains this more fully However, since light travels at different speeds in different media, it is possible for something to travel faster than the speed of light in, say, water. This produces Cherenkov radiation ... the blue glow you may have seen in pictures of nuclear reactor cores.


Does velocity affect the speed of light?

The speed of light is always the same, as long as the light stays in vacuum or in the material substance it's in. The speed of the source generating the light, or the speed of the person who's measuring the light, has no effect on the light's speed. It will always measure the same number. That means: -- If a rocket is in space, flying toward you at half the speed of light, and the astronaut aboard shines a flashlight at you, and -- If you strap a jet-pack on your back and fly toward the rocket at half the speed of light, and -- If you measure the speed of the light from his flashlight as it shines past you, -- You'll measure the same speed of light as if you and the astronaut were both standing still. It can't be . . . But it is. It's been confirmed in thousands of experiments during the past 100 years.

What is the flashes top speed?

wrong! The Flash can actually go the speed of light which is 670,000,000 mph and not mach 1000 which was the old answer and just to be clear mach 1000 is 670,000,0 mph.
