If you are traveling at the speed of light and you turn on your lights, do you ever see the lights come on?

How iam I going to get to the front of the truck to see if the lights come on?

 

 

I'm talking visually...

If you are traveling at .9 times the speed of light and throw a baseball in the same direction that you're traveling at a speed of .3 times the speed of light, what is the initial velocity of the baseball as soon as it leaves your hand?

e=mc squared.

 

A squared + B squared = C squared...

Never mind that Newtonian physics is completely thrown out the proverbial window in the presence of a matter - antimatter reaction channeled through a warp conduit! :dunno:

What about the "Flux Capicitor"? that can bend the space time continuim and allow time travel which is in essense faster than the speed of light....

the Cochrane Warp Engine and the Brown Flux Capacitor NEED to be invented! The math says ITS POSSIBLE! Imagine a GMT900 that can travel at the Speed of Light AND Time Travel! but I have yet to see someone make a Silverado or a Sierra in STAINLESS STEEL!

It depends, are you in the truck looking out, or are you an observer watching the truck go by?

Nope, but if you sped up just a bit could you then see your headlights in your rear view mirror... :dunno:

Yes you would see the lights come on. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, relative to the observer. You would see the lights come on and the speed of the light coming out of your headlamps would be 186,000 mps. It is constant. [pushes up glasses] :dunno:

Your all wrong for both thinking about and asking the question...if you are travelling at the speed of light than you are light

 

Remember E=MC^2

To travel at the speed of light you are saying that C=C or E/M^-2=C

 

W=MA...so your trucks mass is 255kg

 

so since we are solving for E, we get 255x186K^2 or 255kg X 299 792 458 m / s ^2

E= 76447076790kgm^2/s^2

or Watt

so you need 102,475,974.25HP to acheive Light speed in your truck...in a vacuum.

 

 

since the power requirement is so large Mass becomes negligible as we approach light speed, therefore at the speed of light you become energy and therefore cease to have headlights.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
