Talking about stuff at the speed of light isnt super useful, talking about stuff real close to the speed of light is. If you were real close to the speed of light your headlights would look the same as if you were stationary. Oh shit. I thought had exited geek mode. sigh.
yeah kinda, your headlights would apear to extend from your car at the same speed under the speed of light. ex. speed of light-5 = beam of light appearing to be traveling 5 mph extending from your car.
But how does it fall when there is no gravity?Quote:

Actually, you'd see something like this, minus the Wooky:Quote:

Edit: I take that back; that's no Wooky.
maybe you would see this...

I'm still not sure how that truck stays on the road with no gravity, though.
Yeah right, as opposed to the scads of places around where you can drive a truck in a vacuum.Quote:

So let's simplify: if there's gravity the ball falls to the ground at 9.8 m/s^2, if there's no gravity the ball doesn't move, other than the rotation that the thrower gave to it.
While you're nitpicking, 9.8 m/s/s is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth at the Equator. Elsewhere in the universe it will have different values.Quote:

Bitwig,phunk and spats negotiating at the office, would my ball drop, or would my "balls" drop.
