At the speed of light, time appears to stand still from the perspective of an observer. This is a concept known as time dilation in the theory of relativity.

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.


If you were traveling on a beam of light the beam would?

Traveling on a beam of light is not possible for objects with mass, as light moves at the fastest speed in the universe and cannot be caught up to. Traveling at the speed of light would also cause time dilation effects, where time would appear to stand still for the traveler.


Why there never can be a vertical line on a speed time graph?

Because - for there to be a vertical line - time would have to stand still !


If somehow the whole universe is made still then does time also stop at that instant?

No, time does not stop if the universe is made still. Light still travels and time continues. Time is the distance r divided by the speed of light c, t=r/c.


Does time exist at the speed of light?

At the speed of light, time does not exist as we understand it. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time slows down as an object approaches the speed of light, eventually coming to a stop at the speed of light. This means that for light itself, time does not pass.


If a plane is traveling at the speed of light and you walk to the bathroom on that plane are you faster than the speed of light?

The answer is NO. The speed of light is constant in our space-time from all reference frames. This means that going faster than the speed of light is not possible. Within a moving reference "plane", you would still see light travel across the interior, travelling at the standard rate of 300,000 km/sec. For an observer outside the plane, the speed would still appear as that constant due to time dilation.(see related link)


At what point does time stop at the speed of light?

Time does not stop at the speed of light; rather, time appears to slow down for an object moving at the speed of light relative to an observer.


Why Lorentz Tranformation does not allow any object to reach the speed of light?

from a purely mathematical stand point, if something were to reach the speed of light the time dialation/length contraction formula would yield something over 0. This is beacuse the formula is: constant/[(1-(velocity/speed of light)^2] as you can see, if velocity=speed of light, you get something over zero.


What is the trem for the relationship between the speed of light and the measurements of time and space?

Time and space are related by the speed of light space r=ct where t is time and c is the speed of light.


Light speed is a time or speed?

Perhaps coincidentally, the phrase "light speed" refers to a speed.It is a speed.
