Speed of light

[Champagne]

If you were travelling in a car at the speed of light and then you turned on the headlights, what would happen?

[ladyshy]

You'd not be able to see it would you? In my head that makes sense anyway... but then in my head so do rainbow stripey shoes....

[jmck66]

make sure your headlights are dipped or you might blind the people coming the opposite direction and cause an accident.It would take a while to collect all the wreckage because it would be spread over 12,355,398 square mile,so drive carefully please. ps I know a good filling station if you are running low !!!

(I own a pair of stripey shoes too! Red, navy blue, olive green, burgundy and dark gold) :o)

[McNoodle]

mmm...they sound nice...

[Champagne]

BTW, ladyshy, with that reasoning would that mean that light does not exist when travelling at the speed of light, therefore you'd be travelling in complete blackness?

Surely if you're travelling at the speed of light then you would see it? It's a bit like the sun. It's billions of light years away and yet we still see the light from it, even though the light we're experiencing right now isn't actually up to date. If you get me drift...

[ladyshy]

Sighs... Right I admit defeat Champers, I've no idea and this is now bugging me! Can you please go ask in science as someone there will actually know!! (I'm not kidding, I've sat and thought about this and google is no b100dy help).

(Are your shoes red or dead? Mine are red, yellow, blue, green and I think purple with a metal heel. They're sexy beyond belief... ahem)

[Champagne]

Okay, I'll post over there. ;o)

I know the ones you have. They're these aren't they?:-

Mine aren't Red or Dead but they are exactly the same design but with a black heel. They're darker in colour but the reds are predominant. I call them my Christmas party shoes!

[ladyshy]

I can't see the ones I have on there... though there are some fantastic ones. I'll see if I can dig a picture out of the internet black hole for you later.

Are these yours?

[ladyshy]

LMAO! Spot on love!

[RATTER15]

Ladyshy, those shoes should be illegal!!!!

[ladyshy]

They are in several states in america...

The light would come on as normal .. because you're travelling at the speed of light and so is the light-source, it would appear as if you weren't moving.

You're not moving relative to the light, see.

[PinkFizz]

I want those shoes!!

[Ctrak]

The light has to be going faster than the car in order to leave the headlights, so nothing would happen.

[sleepyfairy]

I think, a cop car would pull you up, you would get a fine and penalty points, only a guess though!!!!!

[mixmash]

Typical women i see!
Ask a scietific question and they warble on about shoes!!!! FFS!!!!!
