I was thinking the other day, what if you travelled faster than light ( I know it is impossible for humans, but in theory it is possible to travel faster than light)) and you looked behind would you see anything? I believe you wouldn't because you'll be travelling faster than light so the light reflected from the objects behind you won't be able to reach your eyes. This may sound like bullshit but I wanted to see what ou guys think. Idea

This was a question already posed before among scientists, the ending theory was that because our eyes see beyond points of light and can adjust to spaces in a void, we would still be able to see things.

For example, say looking up at the night sky and seeing stars which are millions of miles away, you don't actually see space, you see the stars. Though I imagine if you're going at such a rapid speed all you'll see is real blurrs, but, scientists have been known to be wrong/right before.


Take some solace in these words, take notice of this place. Hollow whispers that they are, like the wind upon my face. Sing softly in my ear and look at me with wonder. I will try to ease your fear as the darkness pulls you under

ok lets say you were in a clear orb .. approaching the speed of light .. as you reach the speed of light & faster nothing would appear to change .. because you would-be traveling .. like being in a plane traveling faster than the speed of sound, you can still hear your own voice because you are contained ..

But like a craft traveling faster than sound .. the sound would be chasing you .. I feel it would be much the same with the speed of light .. you would still be able to see your own body no problem .. but an observer would see you apart from where you actually are ..

You would appear to disappear & reappear where you slowed down to slower than light is all .. a shadowy smudge of you would chase you to the point you returned into less than speed of light state.

just a guess
