If you are in a spaceship traveling the speed of light and you turned on your headlights what would happen?

Umm, Cavalli-Shorza identifies 5 "genetic groupings" not 3 races. Relativity (special) is based on 2 postulates, not 3. Triangulation isn't the basis of celestial navigation (crossing position lines from 2 stars is). And if you accept relativity, we have 4 noticible dimensions, not 3.JesseBonin said:ok, I am new so I am on a roll
ask yourself how many times the number 3 occurs in nature (terrestrial and extraterrestrial)
here are some examples
3 fundamental races of human
3 basic rules of relativity
3 is the basis of all navigation (triagulation)
3 noticable dimensions
ect...
there are about 2000 more give or take, if you include our history as sentient beings
why do i ask this?
3 will be the clue to unraveling space travel, (via folding space/warp )
JesseBonin said:? why is the speed of light constant ?
? why no matter how fast we go does light stay constant from our frame ?
hmm
first you have to know how fast you are moving, calculate the speed of your molecules, then add the speed of the Earth's rotation, then add the speed of the Earth's orbit, then add the speed of our sun throug its galactic orbit, then add the speed of our galaxy through space, then add the speed of the universe's expansion, and the relative speed of the universe's center.
you will be able to add some of thses speeds up, and come up with a number somewhere in the neighborhood of 20k m/s
and there are some hypothesis on the speed of the few we can't negotiate, bringing our relative speed to somewhere around 31-32 thousand miles per second, or roughly 1/6 th the speed of light.
now, consider that all the data we have of other galaxies and distances and speed is based on light. give light a speed of zero and see how our calculations change, and become something altogether different and i might add, more believable..
Light speed travel is the concept of traveling at the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. This is the fastest speed at which anything can travel in the universe. It works by propelling an object using an immense amount of energy to reach this speed. Einstein's theory of relativity states that as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases and time slows down, making it nearly impossible for anything with mass to reach this speed.
Based on our current technology, it is not possible for humans to travel at the speed of light. The amount of energy required to propel a human-sized object at this speed is currently beyond our capabilities. Additionally, the effects of time dilation and the increase in mass would make it impossible for a human to survive such a trip. However, scientists continue to research and explore the possibility of light speed travel in the future.
One potential benefit of light speed travel is the ability to explore distant parts of the universe in a shorter amount of time. This could lead to new discoveries and advancements in our understanding of the universe. Light speed travel could also potentially allow for faster transportation on Earth, revolutionizing the way we travel and reducing travel time between distant locations.
The main risk and challenge of light speed travel is the immense amount of energy required and the potential dangers of traveling at such high speeds. There is also the issue of how to protect astronauts from potentially harmful radiation and debris while traveling at light speed. Additionally, the effects of time dilation and the increase in mass could have negative impacts on the human body.
In order for light speed travel to become a reality, significant advancements in technology are needed. This includes developing new propulsion systems that can generate enough energy to reach light speed, finding ways to protect against radiation and debris, and developing materials that can withstand the extreme conditions of light speed travel. It will also require further understanding and research into the effects of time dilation and how to counteract them for human travelers.
