If we can motion at speed of light,can we pass a small hole like a keyhole? Of course in suitable conditions...

beste ulusoy said:i just ask my question out of all rules.this is just a think.if we can move at speed of light(assume),can we pass a little hole
for example how to fit these huge stars to our eyes,how can we see them
It is unacceptable to assume we can move at the speed of light.beste ulusoy said:... if we can move at speed of light(assume) ...

Essence said:So you probably know that moving at the speed of light is not considered possible (for something with mass). This is related to the fact that as you get faster your mass increases, which makes it harder to go even faster (requires more energy) until it will actually require an infinite amount of energy to increase your speed even more.
I think he's totally confused about length contraction and thinks that things set skinnier along their line of travel and if they get skinny enough they could pass through a keyhole.DaveC426913 said:I'm still trying to figure out what he means by "can we pass a small hole like a keyhole".
You can pass almost everything if you move fast enough... and don't care about surviving it.DaveC426913 said:I'm still trying to figure out what he means by "can we pass a small hole like a keyhole".
Ohhhh. Pass through the keyhole.phinds said:I think he's totally confused about length contraction and thinks that things set skinnier along their line of travel and if they get skinny enough they could pass through a keyhole.
Yeah, but guessing is so much more fun ... and apparently none of us have anything better to do anywayDrakkith said:Perhaps we should wait and see what the OP says instead of trying to guess.
It's only been 18 hours...phinds said:I think the OP's a drive-by and we're just flailing around
Yeah, but patience is not one of my virtuesDaveC426913 said:It's only been 18 hours...
Well, you could edit your typo... ...phinds said:and apparently none of us have anything better to do anyway
...thinks that things set skinnier along their line of travel...

do you understand me? and do you agree with me partially?jimgraber said:Comments or corrections?
Thanks.

This is a truly bizarre comment. Do you actually believe that a star can go through a hole the size of your pupil because it is far away and therefore small enough? I must be really misunderstanding you, because this is the type of geometrical idea that even a very young child knows is wrong.beste ulusoy said:when the object is far away, it is as small as can go through in a small hole
No.beste ulusoy said:if this object moves as fast as speed of light the distance between the hole and the object disappears instantly. so can the object go through in the hole?
Let's not mislead the OP here. The latter does not follow from the former.Wim Nobel said:If… If you assume something that's impossible, you can conclude anything. So yes, if massive objects can move the speed of light, they can also pass through small holes.
According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the speed of light is the maximum speed at which energy or information can travel. It is believed that nothing with mass can reach the speed of light. However, particles with no rest mass, such as photons, can travel at the speed of light.
If a particle were able to travel at the speed of light, it would experience time dilation and its length would contract. This means that from the perspective of the particle, it would be able to pass through the small hole without any obstacles or collisions. However, from an outside observer's perspective, the particle would appear to be moving incredibly fast and would likely cause damage to the hole.
While it is not possible for objects with mass to reach the speed of light, it is theoretically possible for particles with no rest mass, such as photons, to travel at the speed of light. However, this would require an infinite amount of energy, which is currently not attainable.
Some examples of objects that travel at the speed of light include photons, which make up light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, and neutrinos, which are subatomic particles that can travel at close to the speed of light. However, even these particles have a very small mass and cannot truly reach the speed of light.
If an object with mass were to try and move at the speed of light, it would require an infinite amount of energy, which is impossible to attain. Additionally, as the object's speed approached the speed of light, its mass would also increase, making it more and more difficult to accelerate. This is known as the "mass-energy equivalence" and is described by Einstein's famous equation E=mc².
