Assuming that it is indeed possible for a sole entity apart from light to travel at the speed of light, it would require an acceleration no greater then the maximum g-force a human can withstand. That being said, the average human can withstand safely a g-force of about 3G. A trained human can withstand a g-force of about 6G per se. So assuming this particular human is to travel at light speed, they would still need to maintain regular cycles such as eating, drinking and so on. That being said no more then 3G is realistic. After doing calculations, using t = (V2 - V1)/a, plugging cin for v2, 0 in for v1, and 3G in for a, we find the time required to reach light speed is approximately 31 years. So to now answer the question, a human could travel at light speed by spending 31 years at an acceleration of 3G. Take into account however, that time will slow down for the person approaching the speed of light. If he was able to reach the speed of light it is theorized that time would stop all together.

How could human thought travel 24 billion miles per second?

Human thought does not travel at a physical speed like light or sound. It is a neurological process that occurs within the brain at a much slower pace. Communication can travel at the speed of light through technologies like fiber optics, but human thought is a complex internal process that does not have a measurable speed in terms of distance covered per second.


Will light speed travel be possible in our lifetime?

It is currently not possible to travel at the speed of light according to our current understanding of physics. Developing technology to allow for light speed travel would require major breakthroughs in propulsion systems, energy sources, and materials. While advancements continue to be made in space exploration, it is uncertain if such technology will be achievable in our lifetime.


Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?

No, it is not possible to travel at the speed of light in water. Light travels at a slower speed in water compared to its speed in a vacuum, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second. The speed of light in water is approximately 225,000 kilometers per second.


X-rays travel in vacuum at a higher speed than the visible light?

Yes, X-rays travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is higher than the speed of visible light. This is because the speed of light in a medium is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium, and X-rays have a shorter wavelength than visible light, allowing them to travel at a higher speed.


What travels at light speed besides engines?

Particles that have no mass, such as photons, travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. These particles exhibit wave-particle duality and can behave both as waves and particles. Light, as a form of electromagnetic radiation, also travels at the speed of light.

Is it possible for a human to travel in light speed?

Not by our current understanding of physics or technology.


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.


Can a person travel at a speed of light?

No. Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light.


How does one travel faster than the speed of light?

No human or machine can travel the light of speed. No matter how close you are to the speed of light if you have all the thrust in the universe you cannot get going past the speed of light. The familiar notions of absolute space and absolute time independent of your relative motion must give way.


Does anyone have a theory on how to possibly time travel or breaking down human cells to travel at light speed and back to normal again?

No, they do not.

How do you travel in the speed of light?

You don't. The only objects that can travel at the speed of light are those that ONLY travel at that speed, like photons or gravitons.
