The one thing I've always had trouble with is my own little question that many have tried to answer but "no" just doesn't do it for me.
If you're travelling on a train moving at 99.9999% the speed of light and you get up and walk to the front of the train, didn't you just surpass the speed of light?
The Former Twelfth Lady can when she sees a TV camera.
John Kerry can when he spots a wealthy widow.
Possibly, when we die, we then live beyond the speed of light; Beyond light as we percieve light.
I am told Ted Kennedy can forget moral culpability at about twelve times the speed of light.
Dave went to Jupiter, and Beyond Infinity!
As recently as the 1940s, you could find plenty of articles explaining how it was impossible for humans to break the sound barrier. All sort of crazy ideas were put forth as to what might happen if an object hit the speed of sound. For instance, if it were possible for an aircraft to exceed the speed of sound, an observer would see the aircraft before actually hearing it! How crazy is that?
Yes, thought is fast! Think about mind travel to the star SIRIUS & back while speed of light travel takes... way too long!
Yes, the speed of urban and Internet myths!
He said, 'The theory of relativity is often criticized for giving, without justification, a central theoretical role to the propagation of light, in that it founds the concept of time upon the law of propagation of light. The situation, however, is somewhat as follows. In order to give physical significance to the concept of time, processes of some kind are required which enable relations to be established between different places. It is immaterial what kind of processes one chooses for such a definition of time. It is advantageous, however, for the theory, to choose only those processes concerning which we know something certain. This holds for the propagation of light in vacuo in a higher degree than for any process which could be considered, thanks to the investigations of Maxwell and H A Lorentz.'
Is appears that many have taken the speed of light in vacuo to be the limiting speed of material objects, and that this may be an error of great significance for the progress of physics in the past century. SR describes how motion of material objects may appear.
Bad news.
Very interesting post. Considerations of maximum speed, from Einstein to the present, have been predicated upon travel through space-time. But what if the fabric of space-time, itself, could be compressed in the path of the traveling object, so that the traveling object would always be approaching space-time, but not traveling through it? Like I said, very interesting post!
Interesting you posed this question. A similiar question was asked of scientist Dr. Bill Wattenburg on his radio station Saturday Night. The answer is No.
For your info, he is on week-ends 10pm to 1:am KGO 810 on the dial.
"Light" is just waves of photons as processed by the human eyes and mind, right? Sure, I bet there's particles (a human conception) that travel "faster" (another human conception) than light. Of course, within the very limited context of human perception and conception, photons are supposedly the fastest moving particles, although I read a few years ago that scientists had found some particle or another that travels slightly faster.
Yes, DU tin foil hat conspiracy theories
My wife's nags?
