As you accelerate towards the speed of light time slows down for you-an effect called time dilation,this means that you cover a greater distance in a given time,travel fast enough and far enough and when you come back a great deal more time will have passed for those you left behind than for you-effectively you have travelled into the future,admitedly a one way trip which cannot be reversed.
What else can I help you with?
What is the equation for the travel time to the nearest star at the speed of light?
The formula to calculate travel time at the speed of light is distance divided by the speed of light. The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.24 light-years away. Therefore, the travel time to Proxima Centauri at the speed of light would be 4.24 years.
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.
Do photons travel forwards or backwards through time?
Photons do not travel through time. This is due to the fact that the faster you travel through space, the slower you travel through time. In other words, if an object is standing still, it is traveling at the speed of light through time, and since a photon travels at the speed of light through space, it is not traveling through time. -- Asker here, I hope no one minds me editing in to expand on the question/answer given. Surely the answer must be more complex. If a photon does not travel through time, then that could potentially violate/invalidate causality.
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.
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.
Would you travel in time if you ran the speed of light?
No. First of all you could not. But if you could, then time would stand still, not backwards.

How long would it take to get to center of your galaxy at the speed of light?
Objectively, about 26,000 years - but IF (and you cannot!) you could travel at the speed of light, it would seem like no time at all had passed.

What is the percentage of the speed of light needed to time travel?
99.995 %
Is there any way to reverse time?
no Theoretically, if you could travel faster than the speed of light, you could go back in time. When you look through a telescope at a distant star, you are looking back in time because the light from the star, that you are seeing now, may have taken hundreds of years to travel from the star to your eye. If you can travel faster than light, you could travel to the star and arrive before the light you're seeing now left the star in the first place. Therefore you travelled to a time previous to when the light left.
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.
What is the speed of light travel by aeroplane?
There hasn't been up to time of answer an aircraft fly at or higher that the speed of light
When is the only time that light waves travel at the speed of light(186272 miles per second)?
Light waves always travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, regardless of the observer's frame of reference.
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.
