Yea, I think that would happen. It isn't like you are going that fast. It is more like a disappear and reappear kind of way. Sorta like on Dragonball Z (which I have only seen a few times way back). Kind of like teleportation.Originally Posted by Franc0

It would also depend on what type of store it is and what you are going there for. If the store was 100m away, you would get there in a fraction of a second. You would be moving at about one foot per nanosecond.
The g force would be more than a human body could endure. (You can experience brownout or greyout between 6 and 9 g characterized by temporary loss of colour vision, tunnel vision, or an inability to interpret verbal commands. This may lead to total loss of consciousness known as g-LOC.(g-induced Loss Of Consciousness) Formula One drivers usually experience 5 g while braking, 2 g while accelerating, and 4 to 6 g while cornering.)
When you got there, the deceleration force would not be any good for you either. (Formula One racing car driver David Purley survived an estimated 179.8 g in 1977 when he decelerated from 173 km/h (108 mph) to 0 in a distance of 66 cm (26 inches) after his throttle got stuck wide open and he hit a wall. Purley was subjected to the highest G-forces ever survived by a human being.)

I never said that. I said when you're going FASTER than the speed of light, not near it. If you were giving an example thats fine, if you thought I said that, please read my post again.
As far it comes to going from a blur, to white, and then to black, you're basically telling me you're losing consciousness. The G forces involved at the speed of light are crazy, but doesn't necessarily mean that a human will 'NEVER' be able to try it. In the 1930's and 1940's, pilots only dreamed of breaking the sound barrier. Most pilots at that time believed it was impossible. Look at us today in 2008, we have MiGs, Su's, Tu-160's, F-16s, and F-22s that can break the sounds barrier. No commercial plane can go over sound barrier? Think again, the Concorde could reach speeds of Mach 2.2, of course its out of service today.
Now, to help pilots survive massive G forces, the G suit was invented. So why not invent some clothes or device that will help humans survive massive G forces during the speed of light. Obviously today we think its impossible... but we just haven't done enough research and haven't opened up enough technology yet. Time Dilation is hard to explain, but gravity has a lot to do with it. Basically our bodies grow on steady G forces, in space, people can't grow as easily, its zero gravity. Well they can, but not as planned. Lets say a spaceship is going faster than the speed of light with humans in it to another galaxy. To the viewers perspective, you think that you will reach there in 2 weeks. On Earth's perspective of time, you'd think the spaceship will get there in 100,000 light years. When the spaceship reaches the galaxy, the humans can walk out (if they find a planet), and see that to themselves about 2 weeks passed. The humans didn't necessarily get older, gravity prevented. On earth meanwhile, it is the year 100,008. We aren't 100% sure of how dilation 'works', but aging and gravity is a good theory.

Assuming this street was in a vacuum, you would be travelling 187370.28625 miles per second (2.99792458e8 metres per second). This means you would theoretically circle right round the earth 7.52444270537376187426 times in one second.
However, this is not necessarily true.
In theory, you would continue to accelerate, as you are in a vacuum with no air resistance or gravity to add to the equation. After the first round, apart from having trampled the shop you were heading to, you would take off due to the continuing acceleration and lack of gravity. In another half second, you will have gone into orbit, and will be circling the earth from outer space.
You would then break out of the earths orbit, and later the suns, becoming a sun yourself.
Soon, rocks and planets would orbit around you (none bearing life; you don't provide energy).
At least that's what I think.

He he, tha above post just cracked me up)
All the contributed points are well taken. However, just assuming the issues with G, time-dilatin, orbiting etc were non existent, what do you think happens when one travels faster than light?

Until someone actually does it, I think it is impossible to guess. There was a time people thought the universe rotated around the earth, and that the earth was flat.
Thirty years ago I was young and foolish.
Now, I'm just young.

If it was possible to travel faster then light without negative side affects like G's, then I think several things would happen.
1. You just made a lot of people angry because you proved they were wrong
2. You would be cramping up badly because you just ran a hundred miles in less then a second.
3. You would have legs the size of buildings which would keep you from getting inside the shop door, making you so mad you kick the shop's wall destroying it.
But in real life you would likely create a black hole, or rip the fabric of reality, or something like that.
Also assuming you could go faster then light in real life there would a great strain on your body, maybe even with a special anti-G force suit. Of course the way you view the world would be weird. It maybe like almost going back in time because the light that reflected surrounding world would not be able to be absorb by your eyes. Of course that does not mean actually going back in time. You are not going to meet Mr. T-rex by doing this. Any time difference like you see in sci-fi stories where people in a ship spend weeks going to another galaxy then it turns out they been actually traveling for years would probably not happen because of the short distance you would have traveled. Of course there are the points I said above about the black holes and stuff. Any thing could happen when you try to do the impossible.

I expect if you had nothing to protect you then you would die....

I know everything would move slow when you move that fast, but isnt there also a theory that if you travel faster than the speed of light then you will travel back in time.
And even if you wouldnt die from moving that fast, youre clothes would disintergrate and youd be going to the store naked :laugh:

Its quiet simple really.....
It would all depend on the speed of accelaration as to this but say 0-speed of light was instant and you stopped at the shop door in and instant, You could then see your self standing where you started for a split second as the light that makes up you physical being would still be there.
Its a bit like stars you look at them now but alot of them are not there anymore but the distants is light years away and the light is still going.
