hi there,
i`ve just had a thought. What if an object in space travels toward us at twice the speed of light. We will never see it, right?
That made me thinking of the light barrier. We all know the sound barrier and what is beyond it. But whats the story with light?
I think that (our) time equals the speed of light. Like a bottle falls to the ground. It takes a certain amount of time because we see it happening at the speed that light travels from the bottle to our eyes. (hope you get the idea)
But if something goes faster than light will it travel or "see" in the past??
Now i`m new here and not really deep into these things. So perhaps this is silly or discussed before, but i would like to know if i`m on to something. Perhaps for a new type of propulsion for space travel or so.
please let me know.
best regards, Vincent
