Why you cannot travel faster than light?
Because when moving at the speed of light, time stops for you and you can no longer measure speed (distance covered in a certain time).
If you traveled at the speed of light how long would it take you to reach earth's nearest star?
Actually, the closest star to Earth is Sun which would be reached in a little more than 8 minutes.As for other stars, closest one is Proxima Centauri. You'd need to travel for 4 years and 2 months to reach it at the speed of light. You may or may not know that you have asked a delightful trick question. If I were traveling at the speed of light [impossible, of course] how long would it take me to get to earth's nearest star? From my point of view, the trip would be instantaneous. It would also be an instantaneous trip if I traveled to a destination 100 million light years away. Time completely stops at light speed. Observers on earth would conclude that the trip took me 8 minutes. We would all be right, within the scope of our individual frames of reference.
What word do you use for objects that do not let light pass through them?
Opaque is the term used to describe an object or substance that stops all light passing.
2003 that the brake indicator and ABS indicator light come on and the speed odometer stops working What causes this?
vss sensor
How fast do you need to go to stop time?
The speed of light which is about 187,000 miles per second Time never stops.
What happens to light when you turn off the light bulb?
The energy to produce the light stops and the light stops.
Wouldn't an object moving at the speed of light relative to other things in space technically be at rest relative to itself and always allowed to accelerate?
It would be if it wasn't for the fact that time relative the object moving at high speed slows down as you approached the speed of light, and completely stops when you reach it. This is what prevents things from going faster than the speed of light.
Why can't you achieve light speed?
You need to know the Einsteins equation of relativity. t'=t(1-v2/c2)0.5 Basically this says the time (t') is relative to velocity (v). And C is the speed of light If v=c you get: t'=t(1-1)0.5=tx0 Therefore time stops for you when you reach the speed of light.
Why do scifi spaceships always have a maximum speed of x percent for example 50 percent or 30 percent of the speed of light what stops them from accelerating to 99 percent without air resistance?
Even at modest %'s of the speed of light objects start to radiate their energy away in Gravitational Waves. So it is very expensive to approach the speed of light when most of your effort is just radiated away.

If time stops at the speed of light how do photons move?
Time for the object or person in question stops. This does not affect the objects around which aren't travelling at that speed or the region of spacetime which is around them. A simple and possible explanation is that time is stopped for the photon, but this stays unnoticed because we are not moving at that speed and so we cannot say what is happening to the photon.
What is the top speed of a 2001 Chevy Tahoe?
97mph is when the speed regulater stops you.
