I like to tell high school kids this: If you travel at the speed of light, from your perspective, you are everywhere in the universe at once. Further, the light from a star 100 million light years away occupies every single point between the viewer and the star. And every point of light in that straight line is everywhere in the universe at once. And the light from that star is on an infinite number of “lines” in the sphere of light it gives off.

And God is light.

"I like to tell high school kids... "

Thank you for posting. I do not understand what you mean, though. Your words seem to contradict because "travel" and "speed" do not go with "are everywhere at once."

Thanks in advance for any clarification . I do like mental experiments, though the idea of travel at the speed of light is so difficult. If you accelerated to almost the speed of light somehow, it would take all the stored energy of the universe to push you up that last little bit to get to that speed. Would that be a velocity? What "direction" would you be going?
