Can an object travel at the speed of light Why or why not?

Nothing can travel faster than 300,000 kilometers per second (186,000 miles per second). Only massless particles, including photons, which make up light, can travel at that speed. It’s impossible to accelerate any material object up to the speed of light because it would take an infinite amount of energy to do so.

Does time always move at the same speed?

Both clocks move with the same “speed” through time because that’s what we mean by “speed” through time — it’s what the clocks read. But it is possible to travel from one place in space and time to another place in space and time and go a different distance than another traveler might take between the same two places.

What if speed of light is not constant?

Then again, if the speed of light were infinite, massless particles and the information they carry would move from A to B instantaneously, cause would sit on top of effect and everything would happen at once. The universe would have no history and no future, and time as we understand it would disappear.

What is the difference between the speed of light and time?

In this case there’s no difference. When something travels at the speed of light it really doesn’t experience any time. On the flip side of that coin, it also doesn’t experience any distance. The time and location of its emission and the time and location of its absorption are the same from a photon’s perspective.

Does light experience time or distance?

So light may not experience either time or distance itself, but to move, all it needs to do is get from one point in your spacetime to another point in your spacetime.

Is time frozen at the speed of light?

This answer would be undefined or infinity if you will (let’s go with infinity). The reference time ($T_0$) divided by zero would be infinity; therefore, you could infer that time is ‘frozen’ to an object traveling at the speed of light.

Can we move relative to light?

In essence, there is only one “Light” and we are all in the exact same location relative to it. When we measure the speed of light we actually measure the speed of the propagation of light, the light never moves and has no speed. You also can’t move AT ALL relative to light.
