Tidy up or pay the fiddler...

Well, the lights would function, but they wouldn't illuminate anything in front of you. You would arrive at any point at the same time as the light.
ReplyDeleteyes. the headlights will work.
ReplyDeleteThey would not be effective.

All together now....
ReplyDeleteMiss the point.
You'd find out but couldn't tell anyone cause you had disappeared.

Actually, relativistic time dilation would, if you were moving AT the speed of light (and using every erg of energy in the universe to do it), mean that time was NOT moving forward at all. You would be frozen in time, just as black holes were first called "frozen stars" because time would stand still at the Schwarzschild radius, which is where the escape velocity equals c, and so not only would there be no energy left in the universe to power those lights, you wouldn't see them if you turned them on anyway because time would be frozen. As your speed increases towards c the energy required to accelerate you increases exponentially and time slows down exponentially as well. You could never actually reach c, but you could come awfully close. At 99.9999999% the speed of light you'd see the lights worked just fine and the beams would leap out in front of you at 299,000 kilometers per second. At those velocities time would be passing for you at a rate of about one second for every hundred years for an outside, out of framework observer. (A side effect of time dilation means that space is "squished" at these speeds which is why you would measure the distance to the center of the Galaxy as about 30 light years instead of 30,000. You would also become squished in the direction of travel. This is called Lorenz contraction.) An outside observer would see the headlights just barely moving ahead of your car.
