Can we see light if we move our eyes at speed of light?

In summary, the conversation is about the nature of light and whether or not we can see it. Some argue that since we only see the effects of light, we cannot truly see it. Others discuss the possibility of seeing light if our eyes could move at the speed of light. The conversation also touches on the theories of relativity and the idea of seeing light through a camera or special eyes. Overall, the main point is that while we may not be able to physically see light, we can still detect and observe its effects.

Don't be fooled by this video. The video is NOT *true* trillion FPS. Each frame was taken with a different light pulse and imaged slightly after the last frame was. It's like rolling rocks down a hill and taking a single picture for each rock at a different point in its path and then making it into a video.
