What would happen to a human if they traveled at the speed of light?

The person traveling at the speed of light would experience a slowing of time. For that person, time would move slower than for someone who is not moving. Also, their field of vision would change drastically. The world would appear through a tunnel-shaped window in front of the aircraft in which they are traveling.

What happens to time when traveling at or close to the speed of light?

When a frame of reference goes very fast (close to the speed of light) relative to a rest frame, its time slows down as observed by someone in the rest frame. This relativistic effect is known as time dilation. This relativistic effect is known as length contraction. The moving car actually gets squashed front to back.

Does the speed of light change in liquid?

Does the speed of light change in air or water? Yes. Light is slowed down in transparent media such as air, water and glass. The ratio by which it is slowed is called the refractive index of the medium and is always greater than one.

What happens if you travel at the speed of light?

According to the special theory of relativity, there is an upper bound for speed of anything. This upper bound is the speed of light. So, nothing can travel faster than light. Then what happens if you do travel at the speed of light? The complications arise because our observations depend upon our velocity.

Can a car with mass travel at the speed of light?

Your question contradicts Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity which states that no object with mass CAN travel at, or above, the speed of light (c). As your car approaches c, its resistance to acceleration (mass) increases so that it would take an impossibly infinite force to actually reach c.

Can we move relative to light?

In essence, there is only one “Light” and we are all in the exact same location relative to it. When we measure the speed of light we actually measure the speed of the propagation of light, the light never moves and has no speed. You also can’t move AT ALL relative to light.

Is time frozen at the speed of light?

This answer would be undefined or infinity if you will (let’s go with infinity). The reference time ($T_0$) divided by zero would be infinity; therefore, you could infer that time is ‘frozen’ to an object traveling at the speed of light.
