If a car travels at the speed of light and turns headlights on what happens?

An elephant will appear.

The real question is, while travelling at the speed of light and eating your packed lunch, does the pair of half slices of bread with filling constitute one or two sandwiches?

One, you said yourself they are half. 2*halfs(.5) = 1.
 
the speed of light is relative- the light will be moving at the speed of light relative to the car- so nothing will happen.

if you are on a train doing 100 miles an hour, and you walk along it, you arent walking at over 100 miles an hour...same principle...

no. one sandwich cut into 2 NEVER makes 2 sandwiches... :p
 
22,000 MILES AN HOUR....PHEW !

Firstly if he/she was travelling that fast it would'nt matter if their lights were not on coz they would'nt be able to see a damn thing with all the G's they would be pulling. If they could move to switch their lights on they would be gong so fast their headlights would be their rear lights....lol :)

Person in that car would see me speed past at 2 * speed of light. Everyone knows that Einstein was wrong and that things can travel faster than the speed of light. :rolleyes:
 
COP THAT...

The sneaky copper hiding in the shadows in his/her jam jar would be well ticked off....coz they can't be caught :)

What, so the secret to travelling at the speed of light is to do it in reverse?

And here I heard the ratios were the same as for first gear...

This should make for an interesting drive home.

Speaking of which, I've found all these empty cans over here...

They may / may not have been from my box, which may / may not have contained a live / dead cat.

Either way, I'm selling it on eBay.

You only pull G's when you're changing speed or heading.

The flies and bugs you hit would destroy the bulbs anyway so it's all academic (besides the fact the speed of light is rather hard to reach and travel at :p)

Space bugs? 'Cos thats where you would need to be in order for there to be so little resistence you are able to travel at the speed of light :p

You pull G's when you are accelerating - which can be along the same vector of travel (forwards or backwards).

Erm, he said when changing speed or heading. Accelerating is changing speed, you've just repeated what he said....
