Gods Dreams

A friend of mine had the following to say about my previous article on light-speed.

Pressuming you are moving at the speed of light and you have survived your inrcease in mass and density, light travelling toward you and away from you would still move at the speed of light, the doppler effect would mean that light travelling towards you would be of such short wavelength that you would be vaporised but you would still be be hit by it at the speed of light. This is due to the fact that light does not move like sound (longitudinally) but transversely. Reference to 5th paragraph “faster than lightspeed”

Now, this has to do with relativity, and true travel faster than the speed of light, rather than relative travel faster than light.
Once upon a time, people thought there was a mysterious and magical aether in which certain things were a guaranteed constant, the metaphor of all actions being limited by a chess board, rather than in dynamic relationship to each other sums this up.

This means that the constant theory of reality (that the speed of light is constant everywhere) relies on a pre-set chessboard like map of spacetime, where as the truth appears to be that space time is relative, a dynamic area with deformable terrain.

The assumption made here is that I am referring to true travel faster than the speed of light, in a given area, rather than relative travel faster than the speed of light, which is definitely possible.

The speed of light is constant from any light source, at about 300,000km/s, but relatively, based on the initial direction and movement of the light source, the speed of light can appear to be exceeded with a well-placed observer.

To travel faster than the speed of light, setting out from near to a light source such as Sol, one must exceed the speed of radiance.

To be on the other side of the universe, and moving at 0.9x the speed of light towards us, and another object on this side of the universe such as Sol, moving at 0.9x the speed of light towards that object, gives a net effect of exceeding the speed of light. This is validated by theories and evidence based on the analysis of quasars.

However, to truly exceed the speed of light, that’s something that I need to do more reading on. Studies on quantum entanglement have shown this is possible, however from one human to another, the fastest method we have for passing information is via light, which I think affects our thinking about light.

No human would ever be able to witness successfully an object moving at faster than light speeds and away from us; which I think is a big part of this whole thing.
