Are you asking "Did any object ever move at nearly the speed of light ?" ?

Electric current moving through wires, radio signals moving through cables or

waveguides, and light-wave signals moving through optical fibers, travel at

0.6 to 0.95 the speed of light.

Particle accelerators in Physics research accelerate subatomic particles inside

gigantic magnetic rings to 0.99999 the speed of light.

When did the aircraft fly at the speed of light?

Aircraft cannot fly at the speed of light due to limitations imposed by physics. The speed of light is approximately 186,282 miles per second and is much faster than any aircraft is capable of traveling.


Is there any way to travel by light speed?

With current technology, it is not possible to even come anywhere close to the speed of light. For example, traveling at 1/10 the speed of light is still science fiction. On the other hand, for anything that does NOT travel at the speed of light, it is impossible to actually attain the speed of light. In theory you might get close. There are some particles, such as photons and the hypothetical gravitons, which ONLY travel at the speed of light.


Which are the non relativistic particles?

A non-relativistic particle is any particle not traveling at a speed close to the speed of light. This is not a property of particular type of particle; any particle may in general travel at any speed (below the speed of light). An exception are particles which are massless such as photons and gluons, these MUST travel at the speed of light.


Can a space shuttle travel faster than the speed of light?

No 1). Nothing can. 2). No space shuttle ever came anywhere close to that speed. 3). No space shuttle can travel at any speed now, because that program has ended, and the remaining shuttles are in museums.


At what speed can matter travel?

Matter can travel at any speed you like, if you can pump enough energy into it.The only limit is the speed of light. If you can supply it with enough energy, thenyou can make the matter move as close to the speed of light as you want it to,but there is not enough energy anywhere to make it move at the speed of light.


What the media of speed of light?

The speed of light does not have any media.


How do you travel as fast as the speed of light?

you do not; it would take way too much energy to do this because your mass is so great. Small subatomic particles can be accelerated to close to he speed of light and they require a lot of energy from a particle accelerator. Nothing can reach the speed of light as it would take an infinite amount of energy


Why do you measure distance in the universe in light years?

It's the fastest speed anyone can prove exists. Any speeds in excess of light speed are still just theory. Some scientists believe it is the fastest speed that will ever be achievable.( a cosmic speed limit.)


Any vehicle speed is same as light speed?

No. Not even one thousandth of the speed of light.


The first person to fly faster than the speed of light was?

No human has flown faster than the speed of light, as it is currently considered impossible based on our understanding of physics. The speed of light, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, is the cosmic speed limit according to the theory of relativity.


How long would it take to travel 76400000000000000000000 miles?

You cannot travel that far at any speed now attainable. You would be dead when you arrived. Edit: (If you wasn't traversing at/close to Light Speed).


Is it true that the speed of light in vacuum is the same value regardless of wavelength?

Yes. No experimental evidence has ever been found that would suggest that any wavelength of light travels at a different speed than any other. We speak, of course, only about electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum.
