Faster than the speed of light?
We'd never see it. - We'd just die right? Especially were it to travel faster than light

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.i hate to say it (because going against everyone i found to be generally stupid) but i disagree with a lot that has been said. For one why is it impossible to move something with an infinite mass? wouldnt that mean that black hole were the true resting point because they have a infinite mass? besides just cos we cant doesnt mean that it cant be done. Or simply instein could be wrong for the speed of light the earth wos believed to be flat by everyone at one stage. so i would like a better arguement than that, or disprove me. why cant you travel faster than the speed of light?
my physics teacher put up the arguement that irrelevant to your speed light from a source will always hit u at a fixed time? why my counter arguement is that if you have two cars moving at a fixed speed say 100mph the distance between them is always constant. speed =distance/time if speed is constant and distance is constant then time must be constant, but my theory is that the distance is relative just as speed is relative. the speed of light is a constant, fact. So light from a bulb to a wall will take half the time of light to a wall twice the distance away. thats true hence how our accurate measuring systems measure with lasers.
0------------------------------------------>2
saying the source is 0 then light takes longer to reach 2 in the second instance than the 1 in the first. what if the object had moved from 1 to 2 while the light was traveling . this is my concept with the cars
1--------------->2
0------------1--------------->2
The distance between 1 and 2 never changed but light launched from car 1 at point 0 would reach car 2 at a later stage if it was moving away than at 2 while it was stationary distance relative to the speed of light has changed. any one to argue with this statment must therefore believe light goes at a constant plus the launch speed both of these are contraversial theories that undermine the common belife einstein based his theoris on, my alternative even states that the speed of light is not be a constant. Please show me how this not true. PS i am an as level student so explain in lamans terms. cheers oli
