Hey, Vsauce. Michael here. If you were driving in a carat the speed of light and you turned on your headlightswhat would happen? Would light be able to come outor would your headlights just stay dark?Or maybe, light would come out but it just pull upinside the headlight like a overflowing sink.Or maybe the light would come out but at twice the speed of light - at its normalspeed plus the speed of your car.No, that doesn't sound right. None of these answers sound right because,of course, there is no answer.A car cannot travel at the speedof light. Nothing that has mass can.But come on, you say, there are things that can travel at the speed of light.Things that have no mass, like photons. Let's build a carout of light. Okay.Let's take that sugge...
