It depends on how you look at matter. For example, photons are what is known as the particles of light, so imagine light being a stream of particles. These will travel at the speed of light within a vacuum. As of yet we have not achieved, and are nowhere near getting large matter like a person to travel anywhere near that speed.

Does matter turn into light when achieving the speed of light?

No, matter does not turn into light when achieving the speed of light. As an object with mass accelerates towards the speed of light, its energy increases, but it does not transform into light. It would require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object with mass to the speed of light.


When was Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light created?

Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light was created in 2004.


Can gross matter be transported by light waves?

No, that's Star Trek technology!


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.


Why is the speed of sound slower then the speed of light?

The sound needs a medium to be transported. Without that medium (vacuum) there is no sound. The sound is blocked by air mulecules. The light does not need a medium.


Is it possible to transport matter at light speed if so would it be considered teleportation?

It's not possible to transport matter at light speed, and you can call it anything you want to.


When does light undergo refraction?

light undergoes refraction when the matter changes the speed of light


Why the speed of light has been quoted as being 'in a vacuum' yet the speed of sound is at a specific temperature?

Light will be transported without a medium. The speed of light is = 299 792 458 m/s. Sound need a medium to be transported. It's mostly air, where the temperature is important. The speed of air is 343 m/s at 20 degrees Celsius and 331.3 m/s at 0 degrees Celsius.

What is the speed of light near to the event horizon of a Black hole?

The speed of light is a constant, it does not matter in or out of a black hole.


How matter waves are greater than the velocity of light?

There are some situations in which waves move faster than the speed of light; but in no case can this be used to transmit matter, energy, or information, at a speed faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.


What is blue matter?

It's meant to be, what you see when you approach light, at the speed of light
