AI Thread Summary
Traveling at the speed of light is impossible according to current physics, making it difficult to predict visual experiences at that speed. The laws of physics do not allow for scenarios where one could move at light speed, thus limiting any meaningful speculation. Consequently, any discussion about what things would look like under such conditions remains purely theoretical. Without the ability to travel at light speed, we cannot ascertain whether objects would appear frozen or otherwise. Therefore, the question remains unanswerable within the framework of established scientific understanding.

It isn't possible to travel at the speed of light, so we cannot answer the question.

To elaborate, according to our laws of physics, it is not possible to travel at the speed of light. We use these laws to make predictions (describe what thinks look like) under certain circumstances. If our laws prohibit a certain set of circumstances, we cannot predict with any degree of certainty, what would happen if those sets of circumstances where to happen.
