SPEED OF LIGHT

WHAT WOULD WE SEE AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT

Welcome lower back to technological know-how click on today what would we see if we technique the velocity of mild allow's Embark together on a spaceship which speeds up faraway from Earth moving faster and quicker what might we see while continuously accelerating what Optical consequences could occur and if we try to exceed mild pace by means of bending space-time like in Sci-Fi movies what could we see answering those questions will lead us to discover many captivating phenomena of our universe and immerse ourselves on the coronary heart of special and trendy relativity our spacecraft is first of all at rest once released we begin to boost up we consider that its propulsion machine allows us to boost up continuously as long as we wish as we benefit pace we circulate faraway from Earth with the aid of accelerating increasingly one would think that the velocity might finally emerge as unbearable however this isn't always the case speed has no effect on our body when two trains move it's miles impossible to experience whether it's far our train or the other which is at relaxation similarly inside the spaceship we cannot sense its speed but simplest its acceleration the thrust of the reactors which presses us in opposition to our seats if this thrust is cheap it will be flawlessly bearable all along our journey even when drawing close the rate of light there's although a hazard associated with very high speeds a collision at excessive velocity a trifling Speck of dust would motive enormous harm if it hit us fortunately our deliver is equipped with a pressure subject that repels risky gadgets and allows us to roam freely via space as we boost up a first Optical impact appears the celebs in the front folks which we get towards seem to step by step circulate away the sky contracts before us to understand think about this not unusual state of affairs you are in a automobile using at excessive speed and it begins to rain the rain falls vertically from top to backside however as the automobile movements forwards you acquire raindrops on the windshield from face at the rain does no longer seem to fall from above but from the the front as though its trajectory were tilted and the more you boost up the greater the rain appears to come back from face on our spaceship the optical impact is flawlessly analogous the stars is mild comes from a sure course however as we accelerate the mild rays regarded to come back increasingly more from the the front their route appears exclusive whilst we're in motion this is the aberration of light as mild focuses in front people its depth increases whilst in the back of us the sky seems to widen and will become darker the aberration of light outcomes in some other bizarre phenomenon let's imagine we're shifting via a massive grid representing the cloth of space commonly we'd see a directly grid made up of heterosexual lines converging in the front folks because of attitude but by using speeding up the aberration phenomenon distorts the picture of the sky around us because the days pass through the grid appears to agreement forward and the immediately strains Bend if we have been to go beyond an item it'd appear to be slightly angled in our path this is called terrible Penrose rotation as we move very quickly photos of gadgets seem reduced in size in front folks and perspective is strongly distorted we frequently listen that the similarly we look into space the further we look into the beyond indeed the mild we acquire from a far off star ought to travel billions of kilometers this adventure is not instantaneous and it takes some time for light to attain us as a end result we see the celebrity because it become within the beyond when it emitted this light perhaps several thousand years ago who knows how it might have changed seeing that then looking out from our spaceship the same phenomenon is at paintings as we move far from Earth the planet's mild takes longer and longer to attain us if we may want to zoom in with a telescope we would see people on earth evolving in slow motion that is the Doppler impact each tick of the clocks in the world takes longer and longer to attain us we receive light rays in sluggish motion and their depth appears to weaken as the photograph of the planet shifts toward pink shade in front of us it's the other effect the ship catches up with the light and the celebs seem to get brighter they shift towards blue coloration and their clocks appear to take faster with particular enough system we could measure the aberration and Doppler results since the start of our acceleration in area but if we determined to give up our adventure and go back to Earth those consequences might have had no effect they're only optical illusions because of the manner we receive mild even as shifting after numerous hundred days however as the reactors push us ever faster the deliver starts offevolved to approach mild speed at such speeds a few phenomena will now not be mere optical illusions actual bodily effects will kick in with irreversible results special relativity comes into play a first consequence of Relativity is referred to as time dilation our universe is a big four-dimensional cloth called space-time made up of 3 dimensions of area and one size of time inside area-time all bodies trace a trajectory seeing that all of them advance in the direction of their future for takeoff our deliver was transferring within the equal way as Earth toward the future however by selecting up pace and zooming faraway from Earth faster and quicker our trajectory regularly deviated from that of the planet the axis we name time is now not aligned with the time axis of humans in the world if we decided to turn around and are available lower back our clocks would have measured a extraordinary time and we would have aged much less than earthlings due to the fact our trajectories in area-time might had been unique another key effect of special relativity is called length contraction when a frame moves it near light velocity its duration receives shriveled in the direction of its motion from the spaceship's attitude the whole universe is moving backwards for us the universe is reduced in size along our course of movement as such the length of the adventure to reach our vacation spot is shorter than predicted we aren't speaking about Optical results anymore but of a bodily and concrete phenomenon if we tried to attain a distant superstar the journey could truely seem shorter to us it might take less and much less time the faster we flow hence contrary to famous false impression it is in fact feasible to journey thousands of mild years in just a few seconds and in the case wherein we would flow almost at light velocity the journey might even seem instantaneous to us for the humans on the planet but several thousand years could have handed period contraction is a very actual phenomenon however visually it might be difficult to peer to understand why believe that we crossed the orbit of a planet because it moves very quickly in the direction of us the planet's period is shriveled however do not forget the farther we look at area the farther we check out the beyond and from our attitude the returned of the planet is located further in space than the the front of the planet the photograph that we receive from the again of the planet has taken longer to attain us so we see it as it changed into within the beyond even though it's miles gotten smaller the planet does now not appear to be it because we receive the photograph of its returned with a delay in preference to contracted it appears to be circled this is a phenomenon we have already visible Terrell Penrose rotation while we move very speedy and look to our facet the edges of the item around us seem shorter inside the direction of movement this could be interpreted either as length contraction or as a rotation as a exchange in attitude for the same purpose someone watching us Zoom by means of would no longer clearly see our deliver reduced in size however as an alternative circled on itself through the years our area of view maintains to contract it intensifies in front folks whilst going completely black behind us by way of accelerating increasingly we would possibly expect to attain the velocity of light sooner or later what would we see then this query is probably one of the maximum essential in relativity the solution is no despite the fact that the deliver quickens continuously we can by no means attain the rate of light this is because the velocity of light is absolute you could try to catch a light Ray however from your factor of view it'll always escape on the equal speed the speed of light you may boost up as plenty as you want although from Earth you'll appear to approach the speed of light from your factor of view you're nonetheless motionless and light escapes inexorably in brief it's miles strictly not possible to exceed or even attain the velocity of mild at first-class our deliver will preserve to boost up all the time and our discipline of imaginative and prescient will maintain to decrease ever more until forming an infinitely brilliant spot in the front of us surrounded through a completely black sky nearly at light velocity all Optical effects might grow to be extreme as we trap up with mild rays earlier than us all of them seem to return from the the front in the meantime the Rays at the back of us can never attain us in our body of reference the universe would be extremely contracted like a thin fabric that we'd cross from side to side in a fragment of a 2d for a person on earth we might be moving at the speed of mild however for us the experience appears instant we circulate infinitely fast to finish not anything can ever flow quicker than mild via space but there is probably a manner to bypass this rule in truth not anything prohibits area itself from shifting quicker than light certainly the theory of standard relativity teaches us that the material of area-time is dynamic it can bend in a couple of approaches we ought to therefore imagine creating a bubble round our spaceship which we would Propel quicker than mild that is known as a warp force in connection with technology fiction it would now not be a rely of zooming a car thru space however of propelling the fabric of area itself our deliver would continue to be immobile browsing on a wave of faster than light space-time any such structure may also seem absurd and indeed it is currently notion to be impossible to achieve producing a warp power might require bending space time with large amounts of terrible Mass a shape of count number that doesn't appear to exist in our universe that said mathematics nevertheless allow us to version and calculate what we might see in this kind of scenario if we looked from out of doors the warp force could appear to seem out of nowhere the curvature of space-time deviates the trajectory of mild rays forming a moving lens which splits into one part moving forwards and the other withdrawing in the contrary route light travels slower than the warp drive itself when it approaches mild has not but had the time to reach us and after it crosses us we get hold of each the mild which had now not but reached us and the rays which had been emitted later looking from the inside of the warp drive we'd see the sky shrunk in the front folks and very vivid at the back of us the universe could look extraordinarily darkish and an entire patch of the sky might absolutely vanish from our view the light emitted from there's too slow to seize up with us a cone of the universe stays completely invisible
