Warning Points

[longwaydown]

Now, since I have answered your question, albeit in it's most simple form, I have one for you.

You are driving your car, in reverse, at the speed of light, then you turn your headlights on.

What happens?

Once you get closer and closer to the speed of light, doesn't time gets slower and slower? So really if you actually hit the speed of light, time would stop entirely, which means that nothing could happen.

Maybe not... I am stuck in an Einstein and Back To The Future zone.. Don't mind me!

186 million miles per second!

88 mph!

But how could they move forward, considering that you are moving in the opposite direction at that speed, would they not just sit there. Also if they were to reflect back to you, would they then not have to travel at twice the speed of light to catch you.  Hypothetically speaking of course, as in the God theory.

I guess I should have said away from you since your headlights are traveling faster than you are since you are unable to attain speed of light in the car.  They would catch up to you because they are still coming back at you at the speed of light... that's what I based my premise on... should have clarified it a little better I reckon.

Well, assuming this isn't one of those "if a tree falls in the woods, but no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound" questions, I would postulate the answer to be thus:

Since the light emitted from the headlights would travel at exactly the speed of light, assuming that you're traveling in any direction, forward or reverse, at exactly the speed of light as well, then your headlights would be visible to anyone who was also traveling / following you exactly the speed of light. Of course, I'm a finance guy, so what the hell do I know.

I'm sure the better answer would be, "who cares, I'm too busy a** fuc*ing another Wookie, right Scratchy, errr, I mean Itchy?

You shit your pants....

  

It is.... /default_tongue.png

@99- that is a bad time for the fiber to kick in! Would you also shit your pants at the speed of light?

@DGS- -------> jealous!!

I think a me - th tweaker would disagree lol.

88 mph!!!!

88 mph!!!!

I guess another answer is that you keep driving in reverse but now your lights are on? 

 

[longwaydown]

YES!!!! Go 99!!!

Great Scott!

Jinkies scooby, it's a geek party heh heh

Indeed, "butt", would your sh*t stained drawers be visible to Marty McFly as he passed light speed heading back in time to deal with Biff?

LMFAO!! But if he shit his drawers at the speed of light wouldn't it happen too fast to make a stain? Does speed make shit stains smaller?

I don't know about all of that, but for all you engineer types of vastly superior intellect than us furry creatures, how about this. If you shit your drawers while accelerating towards light speed, in reverse thus sitting backwards in the vehicle, what would the effect of the G-force generated at that velocity be on the outbound turds? Would all those G's just cram it right back up past your puckered sphincter? Inquiring minds want to know.....

 

[Jewbacca]

Well pffft naturally that depends on your rate of acceleration, AND if you are in a zero gravity environment

Naturally! /default_laugh.png

I am just dying at this. LMFAO!!!!!!!!

All I can muster at this point is I vote for the G's cram it right back up past your puckered sphincter theory!!

I doubt there's much scientific substance to this debate, but there is, without a doubt, something quite satisfying about uttering the words "puckered sphincter". Although, "outbound turds" isn't far behind, so to speak.

 

[Jewbacca]

.....I would guess in this case, Uranus.....

Well, DUH!

/default_smile.png I am not recovered yet! I agree- I will make it my goal to use the words "puckered sphincter" at least five times today in every day conversation!

"Puckered sphincter on the bridge!"

He looks rather uncomfortable- like he has a case of puckered sphincter-itis..
