Balls at the speed of light

[Simmo]

OK so say you were on a spaceship traveling through a vacuum at the speed of light. Ignoring the fact that it's dam near imposable.

 

Question .1

If you were to though a ball in front of you would that ball then be going faster then the speed of light?

 

Question .2

If this spaceship had head lights would you be able to see them or anything in front of you?

[dotfire]

you cant

no

[Volt]

1. Duh, it's common sense

 

2. Since you're already moving at the speed of light, it means that the light particles are moving faster than light. Which means it not really light. It's magic.

 

This is simple stuff.

[Kr0nik]

1) If you are moving at the speed of light, you are a light, and lights cannot throw balls.

 

2) The spaceship would be a light. A light cannot have lights.

 

dur.

[Tyler]

1. Yes

 

2. You're in a vacuum, there is no particles or anything for the light to reflect off of, making it therefore not seen.

[Volt]

1. Yes

Not sure if serious...

[Tyler]

Not sure if serious...

Yes, you're traveling at the speed of light, so essentially, if you threw a 100 mph fast ball, the ball would be going 100 mph faster than the speed of light. Seeing that it is a vacuum, it would never slow down.

 

But this brings me to my next point, if it is a vacuum, would the ball ever stop increasing speed...

[Plode]

i have a better question for u

 

how do u though a ball

You know that nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light, right? It's a fundamental law (or axiom) of physics. E = mc^2, and all that.

[Azrael]

No, I don't remember the physics of it, but the ball would not exceed the speed of light.

[Volt]

No, I don't remember the physics of it, but the ball would not exceed the speed of light.

It'd be extraordinarily difficult to get a ball to move at the speed of light, let alone surpass it.

[Jonah]

1. if you are traveling at the speed of light, then the light = x variable , speed = y variable.

x + y =/= speed of light + the speed of a ball being thrown because x and y are letters

 

2. if there were no headlights then how do you know u are even going anywhere because u cant see anything

 

 

edit: something to do with burger king

[Am0n]

Yes, and the ball would hit a very advanced species in the head **** them off, and doom earth.
