What happens if two objects which are both travelling at light speed toward each other collide?
>>
They annihilate eachother and turn into light
>>
LHC
>>
they make a crapload of particles
>>
>>8560496
I'm wondering whether there even are two massless objects that interact with each other. Probably only gluons. Due to self-interaction they don't really travel far though.

So basically, the scenario you are thinking about does not exist.
>>
>>8560496
Objects with mass cannot achieve light speed. But if you include photons as objects, they form a matter/antimatter pair.

Does the LHC crash photons together? Genuine question. I know that they're constantly smashing particles together but I have no idea about photons.

>Does the LHC crash photons together?

lmfao

you can literally crash photons together by aiming one flashlight at another

because the fucking photons coming out of the flashlight are travelling at the speed of light

and hitting each other

that's why you can see them deflect in the shadows

btw, speed of light is bullshit, think about it, red light is obviously fucking slower than green light, that's what wavelength is, but they won't teach you about that in jew-school.

Red and green light travel at the same speed in a vacuum.
>>
>>8560659

that's literally not possible.

light is just sound at higher rates of vibration, and bass travels slower than treble, but penetrates mass more effectively. long slow wave vs quick fast wave. it's a higher energy state. now what reason would anyone have for thinking that light behaves differently than sound? none.
>>
>>8560496
Their relative velocity is c, not 2c.
>>
>>8560659
>vacuum

No such thing exists. There are only partial vacuums.
>>
>>8560661
>now what reason would anyone have for thinking that light behaves differently than sound?
One is vibration of matter, the other is varying EM fields.
>>
>>8560661
>light is just sound at higher rates of vibration,
nigguh wat?
sound is longitudinal mechanical waves
light is transverse electromagnetic waves
>>
>>8560799
>>8560791

matter is just a condensation of electromagnetic activity, just as electromagnetic activity is a condensation of the nonlocal parallax-ulsar functions.it's a matter of scale that if you remember correctly, would be necessary - YES, if you made the pitch go up on a speak from 50hz all the way up to gamma rays, it would emit visible light between 20^10KeV and 20^60ish KeV (if the paper cone survived, which it wouldn't, but the point remains.).

basically, imagine a balloon. it has X amount of air molecules in it that keep it expanded. now we decrease pressure on the outside of the balloon through a large glass apparatus. the air molecules expand comparatively to fill it. however, something else remains just as tightly packed as you imagine the air was in between: the substrate in which the electromagnetic moves.

Light obviously is nothing like sound.
First of all its not even a wave, that's why we talk about photons and not photo-waves.
>>
They pass through each other and nothing happens as the only thing that travels at light speed is massless stuff
>>
>>8561006
>photon and not photon-waves
Ever heard of wave-particle duality?
>>
>>8560496
If they had mass, they would impact with a relative velocity of exactly light speed.
>>
>>8561006

>lights not a wave

>it just changes from baser to finer colors as its wavelength shortens

nope, nothing like it. lol.
>>
>>8560644
No, I visited the LHC a couple months ago and they only talked of crashing protons together. However, the physicist there told me that they're working on something for bigger particles.
>>
>>8560496
they sue each other
>>
>>8560496
Only massless objects can travel at light speed.

All massless objects are bosons.

Bosons can occupy same space at the same time

Nothing will happen

Take two laser pointers and point one of laser pointers into your left eye and another into your right eye.

You're confusing propagation speed with frequency
