A spaceship is moving at the speed of light. You are inside the spaceship, in a dark room. You take your flashlight, and try to turn it on. Will the flashlight work in all directions?
>>
No.
>>
>>8297153
>A spaceship is moving at the speed of light
that is physically impossible
>>
>>8297155
particles can move at the speed of light

a spaceship is made of particles

a spaceship can move at the speed of light
>>
>>8297160
weak bait

>>8297161
no u
>>
>>8297155
Space expands faster than light

And we know that light beyond that point can't reach us

so OP's would be NO

>>8297153
>What happens when I make up an impossible situation?

Idk bro we dont know the parameters of your fantasy land

You do know that asking this question is how Einstein came up with general relativity, right?

You faggots that think knowing everything discovered so far makes you smart, but would never in your fucking life discover something new, because of your inability to think outside the box, are what's wrong with science nowadays
>>
going at speed of light will make you instantly go to the end of the universe
>>
>>8297178
Fuck up you popsci faggot. Einstein didnt discover relativity by asking what happens when you turn a torch on when you're going c
>>
You are in a spaceship moving at 10kmh.
You are in a dark room, you take out your flashlight and point it straight ahead and turn it on.
You measure the speed of light from the torch and yup its going the speed of light.

What speed does the guy outside the spaceship see it going?

The speed of light>?
the speed of light + 10kmh?

How have we not tested this yet?, we dont even need the spaceship to be going fast at all.

``If I pursue a beam of light with the velocity c (velocity of light in a vacuum), I should observe such a beam of light as a spatially oscillatory electromagnetic field at rest. However, there seems to be no such thing, whether on the basis of experience or according to Maxwell's equations. From the very beginning it appeared to me intuitively clear that, judged from the standpoint of such an observer, everything would have to happen according to the same laws as for an observer who, relative to the earth, was at rest. For how, otherwise, should the first observer know, i.e., be able to determine, that he is in a state of fast uniform motion? One sees that in this paradox the germ of the special relativity theory is already contained. Today everyone knows, of course, that all attempts to clarify this paradox satisfactorily were condemned to failure as long as the axiom of the absolute character of time, viz., of a simultaneous, unrecognizedly was anchored in the unconscious. Clearly to recognize this axiom and its arbitrary character really implies already the solution to the problem.''

>>8297184
speed of light is the same no matter what speed the torch is going. cant go any other speed to anyone else no matter what frame of reference they are traveling at
>>
>>8297187
Wrong

>>
>>8297187

Surely this is measurement error.
we just cant see faster than light to measure faster travel than that.

otherwise you are saying any time anything moves it slows down, and the faster it moves the more it slows down. that would warp everything out of shape over time.
>>
>>8297190
general consenus, light in a medium moves slower than c and a vibrationof electromagnetic radiation moves faster than c assuming a non plane wave. photons in free space move at c generally and em waves (same thing, different theroy) move at c
>>
>>8297195
>that would warp everything out of shape over time
That is literally what happens
>>
>>8297195
not a measurement error, we can measure things faster than c if they existed. if you move faster the time you see people not going at c increases. that accounts for the fact that c is always the same speed because time travels at different speeds depending on velocity
>>
>>8297195
Yes, this is special relativity.

Did you even watch Interstellar?
>>
>>8297184
Nigger it will be [math]\frac_{c+10}{1+10/c}[/math]
that's the very basics of special relativity.
>>
>>8297227
Is there any force to warp it back? Over time super fast objects are just speeding around leaving bent spacetime everywhere. Its got to add up over time
>>
>>8297559
The bending only happens from the moving object's point of view
>>
>>8297385
No, the other guy will see the light move at c
>>
>>8297178
Special relativity, and the answer from special relativity is that it's impossible, like they said.
>>
If you put two bulbs in a torch does light travel twice as fast
>>
>>8297153
It will turn on, but just like a neon light or something.
The light will be there but not projected
>>
>>8297160
The speed of light is the velocity at which the energy required to move a massive object diverges asymptomatically towards infinity. This was actually formerly the definition of the speed of light until we fixed it to be the metric by which we measure other speeds (and distances).

After a century of petrified hypnosis, it's time to think outside the Einstein box.

Yeah but what if it's a mega-spaceship?
