So at stand still time will be as normal, and for the observer travelling at the speed of light time will stop meaning it doesn't matter anyway
can you then explain to me how you would be able to see anything if you were traveling at the speed of light?
thus, the observer would not be able to observe anything
explain
Well, I havnt actually been to the speed of light so don't know exactly
, but in theory you would just see a still image

Because its speed is not affected by the environment in which it is travelling, unlike anything else
dont "we" see the speed of light slowing down when it travels though water? refraction?
0/10
I was thinking one possible way around this. Light has been shown to take the properties of both a wave and a particle. So with this we see the properties of the wave come in but in reality the particle is unaffected and still travelling at the same speed?
