When you travel the speed of light everything around you is frozen in time but the further away something is from you the less of the effect. the light travels 9million seconds per second

so that is why if you were to go back living our hours you would be very confused

What is the equation for the travel time to the nearest star at the speed of light?

For example, if a star is at a distance of 5 light-years, it will take 5 years to travel there at the speed of light.


When is the only time that the light waves travel at the speed of light?

Light always travels at the speed of light. The only time that's 299,792,458 meters per second is when the light is in vacuum.


How much energy is needed to travel at the speed of light?

It is not possible for any object with any mass to travel at the speed of light. It is possible to travel at 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999% the speed of light, you could even travel at "99.9 followed by a trillion trillion 9s"% of the speed of light but never quite 100%.According to our current mathematical theories, for an object with any mass to travel at the speed of light it would take infinite energy to attain that speed.


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 travel the speed of light will you age slower?

As you go faster and faster, time appears to slow down. If you could go 99.99999% of the speed of light, you would hardly age at all in 100 years. According to our current understanding of physics (and this is subject to change!) you can never move AT the speed of light, although with enough power you could approach it very nearly. The faster you go, the more time slows down.

How many miles does light travel in 0.1 seconds?

distance = speed x time. Multiply the speed of light (in miles/second in this case) by the time in seconds, to get the distance travel in miles.

How far is 9000 light years?

900 billion years - if you travel near the speed of light. If you travel at any slower speed, it will take longer of course. But do some reading on time dilation - if the traveller travels at a speed very near the speed of light, from his point of view it will take much less time.900 billion years - if you travel near the speed of light.

Does it mean that light doesn't take time to travel?

yes light does take time to travel, and the time taken is at the speed of light. And so depending on the distance, we will know how much time it has taken.


How can light and sound travel at a same time in televisions?

They don't really travel at the same speed, but, on television, the distance they travel is so short, that the difference between the speed of sound and the speed of light is almost non-existant.


Why is time travel not possible according?

No,time travel is possible but it is somewhat difficult,as einstein said,"if an object travels with speed of light , the time near it would become slow and time travel wold be possible. All we need to is to produce such machine /spaceships that can travel up-to light's speed.


Is it possibie to travel at the speed of light?

Nothing with a rest mass can travel at exactly the speed of light, it would take an infinite amount of energy. Light can travel at that speed because it has zero rest mass. Earlier Answer below So far, we don't know if a human can travel at lightspeed. However, it's easier to travel at the speed of light than to travel through time. New Answer: The problem I always had with the term light speed is that speed is relative. We may be traveling close to the speed of light right now in relation to some other object in the universe.
