If you were travelling at the speed of light and turned on a torch in your spaceship would you see a beam of light from the torch?

You can't travel at the speed of light. Accelerating a finite mass to lightspeed requires an infinite amount of energy.
If you were traveling at nearly the speed of light, relativity says the beam of light from the torch would appear to you to be traveling just as fast as it would if you were standing still.
Uh, it's a bit academic, but in reality there's nothing that says a mass can't travel faster than light. While it's true that a mass can't be accelerated to the speed of light from any lesser velocity, it doesn't rule out masses that might always have had a velocity greater than the speed of light.

If you turn on a flashlight while on a spaceship going the speed of light what speed is the light from the flashlight moving at?
c - Light goes at c in all frames of reference according to Special relativity
What was Albert Einstein's first discovery?
something about travelling at the speed of light and slowing down.
Does laser light color affect the speed at which it travels?
No the speed of light is independent of the color. The speed of light is dependent on the optical refractive index of the material or medium it is travelling through (in a vacuum light of any color has a speed equal to about 299,792,458 meters / second)
Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 200 kg. Spaceship 1 has a speed of 0 ms and Spaceship 2 has a speed of 10 ms. What is the magnitude of their combined momentum?
Momentum = mass x speedSince Spaceship-#1 is not moving, it has no momentum. Their combined momentumis that of Spaceship-#2 alone.Momentum = mass x speed = 200 x 10 = 2,000 kilogram-meters per second.
What limits the speed of an object in outer space?
The speed of light, depending on how much momentum an object has. Nothing can surpass the speed of light. the Speed of light is exactly 186,282 miles per second, or 299,792,458 metres per second. Let's imagine a scenario. A meteor is racing through space at the speed of light. If said meteor were to crash into an object, then said meteor will lose most its momentum. As some of the kinetic energy from the meteor is transferred to the object it hit, another meteor, for example, then the first meteor should be travelling at a slower pace, where as the secondary meteor should now be travelling faster than before it got hit, unless of course, both meteors were travelling at the Speed of light, in which case, they should both be flung backwards at the same speed. To conclude, objects and the Speed of light limit the speed of an object in space.
Are there any galaxies that have travelled faster than the speed of light?
Travelling faster than the speed of light is not possible, therefore no galaxies have travelled or are travelling faster than the speed of light.
How does particle acquire speed such as the speed of light?
Photons begin their existence travelling at the speed of light, they do not "acquire" this speed.
How long would it take to get to betelgeuse in a spaceship?
That depends on the speed of the spaceship. If it were traveling at the speed of light, which is the maximum speed that any object can reach, it would take 640 years to get there.
How long would it take to go from sun to the farthest planet in the fastest spaceship?
We don't know where the farthest planet is. But if we assume it's at the edge of the observable universe, then it depends on how fast we go:A spaceship travelling as fast as we can go in 2017 would take 838 trillion years.A spaceship travelling at the speed of light (which is virtually impossible) would take 45 billion years.A star trek Starship travelling at variable warp speeds would take about 45 million years
If you are travelling at the speed of light and fire a bullet what would happen?
it is impossible to fire a bullet a the speed of light
Is man can not be growth by going in a spaceship and it is going with a velocity of light is it real or not?
The part about the spaceship going with the speed of light is not real. I don't understand the earlier part of the question.
What is the maximum recession velocity of the galaxy observed?
Some of the furthest galaxies are believed to be "travelling" faster than the speed of light. They are not actually "travelling" faster than the speed of light, but creating space, faster than the speed of light.
If your in a spaceship going 90 percent the speed of light and you shine a flashlight on an onboard vacuum chamber in the same direction that the spaceship is moving how fast is the flashlight light?
I'd imagine it would go the speed of light because time would slow down to make sure the light wouldn't go faster than the speed of light.
What are heat waves called that are travelling at the speed of light?
radiation
How long will a spaceship traveling at the speed of light reach Proxima Centauri?
About 4.2 years.
Could you detect an object travelling in excess of the speed of light.?
Probably not. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light.
Will you move into another galaxy?
Not in the near future. Other galaxies are hundreds of thousands, or millions, of light-years away; travelling at the speed of light, it would thus take millions of years to travel to most galaxies; travelling at a lower speed would, of course, take longer.Not in the near future.
