Unsure why at light speed you cannot see light
Very unhappy - Dutchy is here!
Wishing to bother anyone but hoping Try will explain the light thing.
X-treamly difficult, do you have security clearance?
(of course!)
Yearning to be free.
Zoning in on observers travelling at large velocities will find that distances and times are distorted ("dilated") in accordance with the Lorentz transforms; however, the transforms distort times and distances in such a way that the speed of light remains constant. A person travelling near the speed of light (299 792 458 m / s) would also find that colours of lights ahead were blue shifted and of those behind were redshifted.
If information could travel faster than c in one reference frame, causality would be violated: in some other reference frames, the information would be received before it had been sent, so the 'cause' could be observed after the 'effect'. Due to special relativity's time dilation, the ratio between an external observer's perceived time and the time perceived by an observer moving closer and closer to the speed of light approaches zero.
You have not been charged for this insight. :wink:
At all fazed by the explanation, but it doesn't say why light disappears at the speed of light, just that it is distorted... but as a logical consequence i e maximum distortion, it becomes nonlight? Does sound disappear at the speed of sound?
Boring readers as to why light cannot catch you if you are going as fast as the chaser when it is all theory, and if Stephen Hawkins is correct - to be revised
