Its only bad for the people left behind as the closer you get to the speed of light the less time that passes for you relative to the universe

If your travelling at the speed of light, time for you travels slower. So if you were going at the speed of light, time would completely stop for you, so it would take literally no time to go to the place you were going to, but for everyone else at Earth, they would age a year for every light year you travel. So if you travelled 1million light years, in the traveller's perspective, no time has passed, but to people on Earth, 1million years has passed.

That wouldn't work, because there is a fundamental difference: -light has no mass- photons have no rest mass. An object with a mass would need an infinite amount of energy to reach the speed of light, meaning the speed of light itself isn't attainable for matter. However, a similar system with a solar sail theoretically permits to approach very close to the speed of light. It would take an incredibly long time, given the explanation of Daniel Lupton below.

@@raycharlz4937 Well light has energy and therefore mass. A photon has no rest mass, but they all have energy and momentum. A solar sail takes advantage of that momentum. The real problem is that at relativistic speeds, any light hitting the back of the sail would be red-shifted to the point where it has no energy from the perspective of the vehicle. If you did reach or exceed the speed of light, there wouldn't be any photons that could catch up to "push" the car.

@@daniel.lupton I agree, light has energy, therefore mass. And the fact that it would have almost no energy to give because of the red shift is correct too. But the core part of my explanation still stands, an object with mass can't ever reach the speed of light, it can only approach it because it would need an infinite amount of energy. Then the solar sail can't go faster than light even if we found a way to continue to supply it with energy. I updated my other comment to take yours into account.

the major problem with reaching the speed of light is *Mass*.

Well wind particles are air... Air has mass even if a little it adds up. Light however has no mass. That's why photons only travel at light speed. The energy is dividing by zero and reaching infinity which is the amount of energy required to reach light speed

Taking relativity space and time dilation into account, 99% + 2% = 99.0390% Space and time dilation always results in velocity less than c no matter what numbers you apply.

What if you keep adding stripes witch will keep on increasing the speed, and eventually it will be 101%.

ian kirwan You get closer and closer to c, but never reach it. 99%c+99%c = 99.9949%c 99%c+99%c+99%c = 99.99997437%c

what if you turned the lights off and you could sneak past light when its not looking...and then add stripes.

+ian kirwan The only valuable thing this is that speed of light is CONSTANT. Which means no matter how fast you're moving, speed of light relative to any system will be c.

Kids are dumb. Let me share a story with you. I was 13 or 14 and the history teacher came to the class and she said "you guys are becoming old enough to get informed about politics. You should read about it, talk about it with other people, exchange ideas and form your opinion on things and so on". A kid responded "yeah, but i don't want to. I'm not even old enough to be able to vote in an election, why should I care?" I couldn't hold myself (and i disliked that kid) then I raised my hand and said on spot "well, you are also not old enough to have a driver's license, yet you spend the whole time here at school talking about cars and so on. Forming a political opinion matters to everyone, the earlier the better" I felt embarrassed, the whole class looked at me in the same second. The teacher raised her eyebrows and chenged the subject of the conversation. The kid didn't argue with me later on, but i don't remember having lots of conversations with him since that day

Ah the Warp Drive

The speed of light doesn't "only apply to flat spacetime". General relativity is essentially all about curved spacetime and holds c in the same regard as special relativity. I think what you're suggesting is the Alcubierre drive which theoretically works by manipulating the space around it. There's good reason to believe it's not possible to construct such a device.

Still potentially possible. Any particle with mass cant possibly go faster than the speed of light, for reasons described in the video. However, assuming you had infinite energy, you could theoretically somehow bend spacetime to pull yourself along it in a way that reaches some destination in a smaller amount of time than it would take light to travel there, thus effectively travelling faster than the speed of light without actually moving at all in the traditional sense. Iirc, we'd need more energy than is available in the observable universe for this.. but maybe with more efficient batteries, who knows haha :P

You're winner!

I haven't studied relativity, and hardly any Newtonian physics, so take this with a grain of salt. But here's my understanding: The speed of light in a vacuum is exactly the same for all frames of reference. A car driving at a hundred million mph sees light move at the same speed as a stationary observer does: the speed of light. The light doesn't move at the expected "speed of light plus 100 million mph" because of time dilation. Time dilates such that anything that *would* be moving faster than the speed of light (were reference frames composed using simple sums) moves less than or equal to the speed of light. Now, all this assumes that Einstein's equations for relativity are accurate, and so far we haven't found any disproofs for that. (I might be completely wrong here, but it's something along those lines: the speed of light shows up in the equations of relativity in such a way that moving faster than that speed is impossible)

@@berylliosis5250 Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. I think I'm more suited for theoretical physics more than anything 😆 because that's just how I think but it doesn't always work with established physics.

Nope that’s absolutely right as lim tends to infinity w hits near 0 basically meaning it’s not rotating anymore/ moving realllly slow

Sadly, no, but it's a really cool reason. From your perspective, you are sitting inside a spaceship that is going near the speed of light. Awesome! send me the schematics. You start running forward. You would make it from one end of the space ship to the other in what you perceive to be a normal amount of time, and you think that you're traveling faster than the speed of light. Eventually, you're journey ends, and you get off of the space ship to collect your nobel prize, only to find that hundreds of years have passed in what you thought was only a few minutes. See, the really weird thing about Einstein's theory of relativity is something called Time Dilation. The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower you move through time. So, from an outside perspective, the spaceship is moving at 99.9999999999% (10 decimal places) the speed of light, and you are moving at 99.99999999999% (11 decimal places) the speed of light inside it. You are still moving faster than it, but only by an infinitesimal amount. This phenomenon has actually been experimentally observed in satellites with hyper-accurate atomic clocks. As the satellite goes faster and faster, the clock starts ticking slower and slower. So, from the satellite's perspective, it is following newton's standard F = ma. But from the perspective of us mere earthlings, it follows the relativistic form of the equation.

No, the faster you go, the slower time goes for you

@@caseygravelle7672 So you lose your ability to run fast, got it.

In reference to what? If two people are going half the speed of light in opposite directions, one is going at speed of light for another. But that doesn't count

Rata Touille Yes, assuming of course that you have infinte energy and time to accelerate it to that speed.

No, actually. Nothing in the machine is moving faster than the speed of light relative to closest thing it has to interact with. Therefore the machine would hold together if we assume the material it's made of has infinite tensile strength.

I'm afraid the video's EM binding explanation is incorrect. The atoms are bound by photon-exchange at the tip where the _local_ value of c in that reference frame remains the same. I'm frankly astonished that someone with a doctorate in educational physics has missed a fundamental tenet of Einstein's: c is a constant in all reference-frames. There is a slight complication in that the motion is non-linear and therefore requires a slight GR tweak, but the instantaneous velocity may be taken as 'linear' at such a long distance. The spinning wire paradox is resolved by the ordinary fact that not enough energy can be imparted to the tip for its velocity to equal c. The question, 'what would happen then?' isn't answered. The wire would simply start to wrap around the rotor until it was fully wrapped around. Conservation of angular momentum would then dictate the whole thing would spin up at a ridiculous rpm.

wrong person..

😂

Don't read me k the speed of the light particles themselves stay the same and when the light gets turned off the materials around it absorb all the light. By running in circles you are simply making yourself look like a fool. The light doesn't slow down it just becomes more difficult to see due to the decrease in photons.

ScienceIsCool what if nobody else is in the room, then he is not making himself look like a fool ( doesn't mean he is not)

did I do it right?

ur flash is too much slow thn speed of light.. 😂😂

Raged Flash...

badhan ali The flash runs FASTER than the speed of light buddy.

That's because the speed force comes from a originated from another dimension. When expressed is this dimension faster than light travel is possible but only relatively.

Johan Jacobs you realize this was a joke, right?

The thing that makes us breaking the speed of light limit unlikely in my eyes is just the fact that traveling faster than light breaks causality, causes paradoxes and would result in whatever is traveling faster than light to move backwards in time rather than forwards, meaning they would arrive at a destination before they even departed. I don't see how it would ever be possible to develop FTL travel and overcome the issue of breaking causality and causing paradoxes.

@@StreakyBaconMan What you are saying of course sounds reasonable to me. Perhaps though by warping space a thing might go from point a to point b in less time , if point a and b are positioned closer together via warped space. It wouldn't create any causality or math issues per say. It does appear that space can be warped by large objects. Perhaps some day it will be no big deal for us to do it. I have no clear idea how it might be done though. I have my doubts about the negative mass and energy ideas. Recently Dr. Sony White from NASA, claimed to have found micro warp bubbles. Again I don't really know much about it though. I do have ion thrusters on my channel that lift their power supplies against Earth's gravity, and might go really fast in space with ultra small propellant tanks, or very high voltages, that I do know something about.

@@StreakyBaconMan Warping space behind the spaceship and actually moving through space are different so it possible. And while it does break causality, it doesn't always do it. As long as you don't mess with what you shouldn't mess with, nothing will break.

+Ma4zu6 I think he means the energy would get lost as heat as the movement traveled to the tip.

+Ma4zu6 What Ben said and... yes the pole would bend. A pole made of any materials will be flexible (if long enough). For example, concrete skyscraper actually sway in the wind. Not by a lot mind you (or the architect screwed up big time) but they do indeed sway (if tall enough).

+Ma4zu6 Assuming the pole would move, the speed of that is the speed of sound. So it's irrelevant.

+Razvan MIHAIU That isn't what they meant. They meant that the force traveling through the molecules of the stick travels at the speed of sound. Objects like sticks can be moved faster than the speed of sound, right? The tip could move much faster than sound. Just not light. The energy transfer to get to the tip would be wasted via heat, sound, etc., "Now this is a loss(y) process, so you'd be lucky if any of the energy made it to the tip at all". Over the course of the 450,000 miles of pole you would lose all of the energy you put into it due to waste, most likely. That's why the tip wouldn't move, not necessarily the bend (which possibly contributes).

+Ma4zu6 It's like when you lay a long rope on the floor and you pick up one end and whip it. You'll see a wave. The wave becomes smaller and smaller because it loses energy. It's about the same principle. The tip of the pole won't move.

+Stevephone Hocking wow click on your maximize screen button!

Light doesn't "gain speed" exactly. It's created with its velocity, which never changes. The speed is determined partly by the "vacuum permittivity" and "vacuum permeability" constants. Google those for details. Photons don't have even a tiny smidgen of mass. (Photons are affected by a gravitational field because spacetime bends around massive objects, not because of gravity acting on a mass.)

Harsh Colby I have a theory that I am working on about photons and why we believe that the speed of light is the 'speed limit of the universe' A lot of the people of science will probably hate my theory, because it will involve breaking a widely accepted and cemented theory in the world of Science... I have to break the Theory of Relativity. Yes, I know people will initially wave it off because it essentially commits heresy to all forms of science, but I believe that I can provide enough supporting evidence to prove that my theory is correct in every way, shape and form. Would you mind telling me how *you* would react to someone trying to disprove the Theory of Relativity?

MicrowavableToast Photons are Energy. E=Mc2. There is no mass, Energy = Mass (non) x The speed of light. Energy = The speed of light. Energy can only travel at one speed - The speed of light. All radiation travels at this speed. Infra red, UV, Light, Gamma ect. it does not gain speed, it simply exists and is limited to said speed. The flaw in trying to reach this speed is that it is how fast light travels through SPACE. Now if we can compress and expand space, we can in theory get from A - B faster than light and no laws are broken.

The thing of it is... this kind of begs the question about the speed of light. Let me explain. A photon goes at the speed of light (obviously) and we say that a light particle has no mass. This HAS to be impossible. Gravity bends light. If photons truly had no mass, they would be unaffected by gravity, as in order for gravity to interact with an object, the other object requires mass of its own to make it have weight, which pulls it towards a gravitational pull. Black holes, therefore, would not be invisible. This leads to the idea that gravity stretches time. To an observer, on a sattelite for example, he will percieve movement on a gravitational body as being slowed. The reason? The photons are reaching the observer slower, making HIM perceive the actions as happening over a stretched period of time. If someone fell into a black hole, he would seem to move slower, and slower until he stops and disappears because the photons cannot bounce off of the man in the black hole and reach an observer. Spaghettification? Illusion. His legs are percieved as longer because tbe gravitational pull is stretching the amount of ti.e it takes for a photon reaches his eye, therefore it would look like his legs are stretching. We cannot see black holes because we only see light. We cannot perceive anything going faster! We used the theory of relativity on the fact that we cannot find anything faster than the speed of light. Argument for the speed of light being the speed limit is flawed, because we basically say the the speed of light is the fastest because the speed of light is the limit. Can you really calculate energy with the theory of relativity? What measirements of the speed of light are needed? Kilometers per hour? Meters per second? Whay about mass? Ounces? How do we measure energy? How do we measure the speed of energy? Photons are particles, right? Nothing could exist without mass, as a photon, as it exists, takes up space. If it takes up space, it has mass. We say that photons are particles that act like waves... I say no. They are particles. But yet it is similar to sound waves. You know how space is a huge vacuum? Well whe something like air escapes i to the void, it despirses evenly. Photons are dispersed evenly through the universe! With such minute mass it would react to the slightest movement, and follow it. We hear sound from the waves and vibrations caused by sou d vibrating through the air, we see light because photons act a similar way! The light spectrum is the type of waves that move the photons around! And we see them! Also, dark matter? Since it obviously exists, and we xant find it or measure it... it must be faster than light. If it were going faster than light, photons wouldnt have enough time to reflect properly off of it. Since we limited ourselves by making the theory of relativityour "laws of physics" says that nothing can go faster than light, making us blind to anything out there that defies our set law made by an old guy decades ago, We wont progress until we realize we may have outdated information that needs to be updated. And so many scientists are so stubborn as to this theory. They say "but that breaks the laws of physics!!1!11!!" Of course it breaks the laws of physics! The laws are broken because of a theory that begs the question. Ill type more later when im on a computer. I cant stand all the unrepairable typos im making on this kindle fire. Ill add more later. My theory is not finished yet, im just tired right now. Go ahead an make any comments you want on my theory so far. Im still working to improve it. See ya in a few days maybe.

MicrowavableToast gravity does not bend light, it bends the space light travels through thus giving the illusion it bends light. Black hold to this to such a point that the space light travels too leads back into the black hole in every direction thus light cannot escape it. Black holes ARE invisible, we only know they exist from the objects that orbit them.

The closer a physical object gets to the speed of light, the more time would appear to slow down for that object from the perspective of an outside observer. So theoretically, an object moving the speed of light would appear to be motionless.

+Eric Reed But if the object if traveling above the speed of light, it would be un observable as it is static and does not move to humans

+xboxless: If we measure something to leave A and arrive at B in less time than it would take light to make the same trip, it's moving FTL. We'd be able to see it because it's not the object itself that we see, it's the light bouncing off it. (Think of light shining on a superluminal rock from the side, for example. There's no reason we couldn't observe it.) +Eric: Photons are moving the speed of light, yet do not appear motionless.

HarshColby We wouldnt see the object itsself surely as we only see the light that has bounced off it in the past

This is also true of objects moving slower than light. We see the light bounding of it, not the object itself. We see all objects in the past. How far in the past depends on how far away it is, not how fast it's moving.
