Time for the object or person in question stops. This does not affect the objects around which aren't travelling at that speed or the region of spacetime which is around them. A simple and possible explanation is that time is stopped for the photon, but this stays unnoticed because we are not moving at that speed and so we cannot say what is happening to the photon.

Can an object move with speed of light?

Yes, photons do.


What is the difference between speed and light?

Speed is how fast something moves. Light is a form of energy carried by massless photons, these photons move at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed that anything in the universe can travel.


Does a photon move at the speed of light?

Yes, a photon moves at the speed of light, because photons have no mass.


What are massless particles traveling the speed of light?

Massless particles traveling at the speed of light include photons, the particles of light. They have no rest mass and always move at the speed of light in a vacuum according to the theory of special relativity.


Can photons be accelerated?

Photons, as massless particles, always move at the speed of light in vacuum and cannot be accelerated further. They can change direction or wavelength through phenomena like reflection, refraction, or scattering, but their speed remains constant at the speed of light.


Can any object move with the velocity of light?

No object that has mass when it's just sitting there on the table can move at the speed of light. Photons have zero "rest mass".


Can a neutrino be motionless?

Yes. A neutrino usually moves CLOSE to the speed of light; this means that (unlike photons, which only move at the speed of light) it is possible to have SOME observer for which it is motionless.


An object moves in light speed will shred its mass?

An object that normally doesn't move at light speed (so, this doesn't include photons for example) CANNOT move at the speed of light. As it approaches the speed of light, its mass will get higher and higher (and tend towards infinity); as will the energy required to continue speeding it up.


Is that true that the more energy of a photon the bigger the mass it possesses?

No, all photons have the same mass. Photons are massless (i.e. zero). All the energy in a photon is in its momentum, but increasing its momentum does not change it speed which is always "the speed of light". All massless particles always move at the speed of light.


What is the different between light energy and energy?

Lots of differences. For example: light is a flow of electrically neutral particles (called photons), that move at the speed of light (at least, in a vacuum). Electricity is a flow of charged particles - often electrons - that move at speeds below the speed of light.


Do photons effect time If speed effects the time dimension and light photons move at approx 680 million mph is the time dimension effected by this speed This stupid thing won't let me use punctuation?

No, photons neither effect time nor affect time.


How does light produced and propagate?

Light is produced when electrons in atoms move to lower energy levels, emitting photons in the process. These photons then propagate as electromagnetic waves through space. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second.
