because all light headed in your direction from across the entire universe would arrive at your eye constantly. in short, you would get a bad case of sunburn, and would need a good pair of ray-bans.

I apologized, for my stupid post.

I’m new to this type of things, and is sure confusing the shit out of me.

Who confused the crap out of who?

 

No one, i meant all this light speed thoeries are confusing, to me.

which makes me post senseless stuff

Let me ask you a question.

 

what happen if you go at the speed of light. time will stop right?

Think about it, time will stop because you'll be going at the same vilocity. am i still not making any sense?

Do you mean time travelling will have a conection to the speed of light?

Ditto!

 

esp when you consider that even light takes time to get from A to B, so this "no time at all" comment hardly seems logical? ;)

 

edit: this post applies to posts# 48, 49 and 50.

didn`t see it was a 2 pager (having a bad day, just ignore me, I`m harmless mostly) :)

 

"Time doesn't really have direction" if this is true then , indeed time traveling is impossible

Personaly I am going to go with no on the first question... I had a reason but it left during the course of my reading of your tangent...

 

As for time=C ... I don't think so. Personaly I think time is not really a dimension in the same sense as space is a dimension, I think time is simply an ilusion impregnated upon the human mind. I havent really had a chance to ratinalize all the possibilities of that yet seeing as I just thought of it a couple of days ago while reading these forums.

On the original question...

 

Of course the speed of light changes, every time it passes through a material it slows down depending on the properties of the material. It's even been completely stopped in recent experiments.

 

Now the speed of light through a vacuum © may also indeed change slightly over billions of years.

 

how what... in a material or in a vacuum over time?
