According to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, If you approach the speed of light, then time will slow in accordance with your current velocity and the velocity's distance from the Speed of Light. For example, if you were on a train traveling around the Earth several times a second, with a velocity 5 mph under the Speed of Light, if you move 6 mph inside the train, instead of exceeding the speed of light, time will slow down just enough to lower your velocity and prevent you from reaching or exceeding the Speed of Light.
What else can I help you with?
At what point does time stop at the speed of light?
Time does not stop at the speed of light; rather, time appears to slow down for an object moving at the speed of light relative to an observer.
What is the significance of the relative speed of light in the theory of special relativity?
The significance of the relative speed of light in the theory of special relativity is that it serves as a universal constant, meaning that the speed of light is the same for all observers regardless of their relative motion. This principle leads to the concept of time dilation and length contraction, which are fundamental aspects of special relativity that explain how time and space are perceived differently by observers in motion relative to each other.
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.
What does relative refractive index tells?
The relative refractive index describes the change in speed of light as it moves from one medium to another, indicating how much the light bends or refracts at the interface of the two media. It is calculated as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the medium in question. The larger the relative refractive index, the more the light is bent or refracted as it enters the medium.
What term for the relationship between the speed oflight and measurements of time and space?
The term for the relationship between the speed of light and measurements of time and space is "special relativity." This theory, proposed by Albert Einstein, describes how space and time are intertwined and how the speed of light is constant for all observers regardless of their relative motion.
At what point does time stop at the speed of light?
Time does not stop at the speed of light; rather, time appears to slow down for an object moving at the speed of light relative to an observer.
Why do you experience less time in space?
Time is relative to speed. The closer you approach the speed of light, the slower time passes.
If time and distance approach zero relative to an observer as one approaches light speed and light travels at light speed wouldn't an observer see light going faster than it is?
time dilates, space contracts, speed of light holds constant.

Do people travel back in time when they go back to earth?
No, but because time and speed are relative the closer we get to the speed of light the more time slows down.
Wouldn't an object moving at the speed of light relative to other things in space technically be at rest relative to itself and always allowed to accelerate?
It would be if it wasn't for the fact that time relative the object moving at high speed slows down as you approached the speed of light, and completely stops when you reach it. This is what prevents things from going faster than the speed of light.
Is time faster than he speed of light?
This is an unanswerable question, since time is a dimension and the speed of light a measurement. The two are directly related, however, insofar as approaching the speed of light inversely affects the relative speed with which you travel through time. For instance, one year on a spaceship going 99% the speed of light (it is impossible to reach the speed of light relative to local space-time, in that paradoxical scenario time would stop completely) would cause you to return to an Earth that has aged hundreds or possibly thousands of years (I'm not sure the precise speed to time conversion formula).

If you were moving the speed of light would your shadow do the motion you did seconds ago?
You can't move at the speed of light. Because of the nature of space and time, specifically, time being relative, things get very complicated when you travel near that speed.

What is the relative speed when two light waves collide each other?
Two light waves meeting one another meet at the speed of light, due to relativistic effects. The relative speed, V, of two objects travelling at relative velocities, Va and Vb, is given by V= (Va+Vb)/ (1-(VaVb/c2)) where c is the speed of light. if Va = Vb =c, which is the case that you are asking about; V = (c+c)/(1-c2/c2) = 2c/2 =c i.e. the two waves travelling at the speed of light meet at a combined relative speed of the speed of light. It is a counterintuitive result, but a direct result of relativity and the distortion of space-time.
Is there an equation that determines how much the relative time slows as an object approaches the speed of light.?
Time recorded on the moving clock = (non-moving time) multiplied by the square root of (1 - v2/c2). v = the speed of the moving clock c = the speed of light
