Can you get off a horse when it is moving at light speed?

No, you can't it's impossible. No matter can go at the speed of light.


How meany pounds of force to get light speed?

To accelerate an object with mass to the speed of light, you would need an infinite amount of force, as the closer an object gets to the speed of light, the more energy it would need to accelerate further due to the laws of relativity. Additionally, as of our current understanding of physics, it is impossible for an object with mass to reach the speed of light.


What happens if you are driving a car at the speed of light and you cut your headlights on?

It's impossible for any object with mass to travel at the speed of light. Due to the laws of physics, the concept of mass and energy at the speed of light does not follow our everyday experience. Therefore, the scenario of turning on headlights while moving at the speed of light cannot be realistically described.


Is it possible to get more speed then light to the particle with accelerator?

No, according to the theory of relativity, it is impossible for any particle with mass to reach or exceed the speed of light. Accelerators can increase the speed of particles to high fractions of the speed of light, but they cannot exceed it.


What is a sound wave made by an object moving faster than the speed of light?

It is impossible for an object to move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. According to the theory of relativity, as an object accelerates towards the speed of light, its mass would approach infinity. This would require an infinite amount of energy, making it physically impossible.

Can you fly to the speed of light?

no. it is simply impossible to fly at the speed or light. the only thing in this galaxy that can move at the speed of light is light. othewise it is phisically and croneologically impossible.


Is there a way to make rockets travel in the speed of light or is it impossible?

It is impossible.


If you are travelling at the speed of light and fire a bullet what would happen?

Can you cross the speed of light?

Theoretically yes.


How many times can you cross the US at light speed?

You can cross the US 75 times at light speed because many countries require bells on byicyles.


If someone moves faster than light does it become dark?

It is impossible to move faster than light, as your mass increases as your speed approaches that of light. The Speed of Light would mean infinite mass, which it is impossible to make faster.


What is it called when your going faster than light?

impossible. Einstein proved that it is impossible to go faster than the speed of light, therefore their is no term


What happen when speed of light is not constant?

It is impossible that a constant thing can become inconstant..... \


Why is it impossible to travel faster than light?

According to the theory of relativity proposed by Albert Einstein, it is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light because as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases infinitely and would require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate further. This means that it would take an infinite amount of energy to reach or exceed the speed of light, making it physically impossible to achieve.

How long would it take to cross the milkyway?

From edge to edge (Although there is no real defining edge) at the speed of light, it would take approximately 100,000 years. At 1,000 mph it would take you about 67,000,000,000 years. (67 billion years - about 5 times longer than the age of the Universe)
