Imagine speeding along in a spaceship at close to the speed of light and peering out through a window as you approach the Milky Way galaxy. You would actually observe the motion of the Milky Way as it rotates around it's core. Hundreds or thousands of years will pass during the few minutes you spend looking out the window as you fly your spaceship back home from another distant world.

Also, it seems that what this young scientist is describing is "parallax". Parallax was used in the old days to determine how far away different stars were.

Time is relative, so...Prepare for unforeseen consequences

Ok I'm not here to argue with anyone, but Stephen hawking said that when the universe was created it was expanding faster than the speed of light. How is that possible if nothing can go past that threshold?

@ancientastronomer BUT, if you SOMEHOW managed to go the "speed of light" (which is also the speed of time I might add, and it's a little silly to try to go faster than time itself) You would be: Frozen in time, you would keep up with light moving forward from your headlights also. However, you would have to be made of energy (or at least have no mass), so until we find a way to create sentient beings and cars existing as only energy, it just won't happen.

[jibblesmgee]

@ancientastronomer To answer your question, you cannot reach the speed of light (at least not by accelerating) Your headlights would appear perfectly normal because your time would slow down (your mass would increase also, as the energy put into speeding you up would cause a "bubble" in spacetime that would not allow further acceleration) Time would slow down for you to the extent that the photons would still move at the constant of light. Matter can't go "light speed".

@yourfullofsheite (if), and most importantly, you have the right teachers, it is no match to our univerisities and in numerous ways, excels.

more speed...but i havent got anymore speed roflmao

[yourfullofsheite]

Isn't homeschooling wonderful!!!

[ancientastronomer]

@anthcybo Hmmm. For starters, NOWHERE do I see a question in your STATEMENT.

I would HIGHLY recommend 2nd grade ENGLISH long before taking on the potential considerations

& somewhat abstract mental environment of Physics.

@ancientastronomer

Here's a question for 1st year physics students. Do your own fucking homework.
