If a car traveled at the speed of light, would the

headlights work?

1. Well, you would be where you were going

before you had time to look.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

2. Ah! 💡

[yonder]

3. They worked yesterday.

[dweller]

4. only as dome lights

and only not if you were observing them ...

forget the cat

✌🏼

[pangaia]

5. yes, but you could not see them

6. The car would get there,... before the light...

.... from the headlights arrived. Would a head lamp flashlight that you strap to your head help out ? Oh fuck it,.. just use a high powered candle - 3,000 candle watt power, yes, that's the ticket.

Wait,.. I'm not sure,... I am so confused now.

7. As you well know matter can't travel at the speed of light.

Geez... oh. wait if you live in Ohio you can claim that Jesus told you that a car can travel at the speed of light and you'd be right!

8. screw the headlights

I'd want to know that the brakes are up to the task of stopping the damned thing!

9. They would work better

The photons that emanated from the lights would still be ahead of you, but would bounce off an obstruction and return almost twice as fast, which would cut the time it takes to see something in front of you by nearly half.

The problem comes in when the car travels faster than the speed of light. In that case you'd want to turn on your lights well ahead of time before you started your trip.

10. For you no... space contracts to zero and time stops.

They would work as far as people on the street are concerned... but you do realize a car, or anything else having mass, cannot travel at the speed of light?

11. That would be breaking the Laws of Physics, mister!
