I know it isn't possible for any mass/massless body to have velocity more than the speed of light in vacuum but what if it was done hypothetically?
As far as I know length and time of an object undergo a transformation so that the laws of physics remain same between observers at rest and observers in uniform motion
with the length parallel to direction of motion changing to LII = L√1-(v^2/c^2)
And the time of the body relative to others changing to t = t0/√1-(v^2/c^2)
here if the velocity was 2c then it would give us L|| = L√-3
I don't have much idea about complex numbers but if it hypothetically happened then what would happen to the length?
Similarly what would happen to the time? Could there be a transformation such that the laws remain same under uniform motion and rest and also allow velocities more than c? I am new to relativity and its concepts so it may not be 100% correct.
