I recently had a very in-depth conversation with a dear friend of mine where we discussed the chances of humans ever achieving light speed.
Over the course of this discussion we also realized that this entire concept is an utter paradox.
Speed of Light = 299, 792, 458 m/s
The Length of the Universe = Theoretically infinite
So, what's the point in traveling such speed if we will never be able to truly utilize it? Now, I do realize the scientific breakthrough it would be
and the concept is just so interesting to me I would love to see that discovery within my lifetime. (which most likely won't occur)
But, here's the real point of my discussion and where the actually paradox comes into play:
Scientists say that the speed of light is so fast that if we were to travel anywhere we would
get there instantaneously. Makes sense, right? But, how can that be true if the Universe is infinite?
So, my question is if such events were possible, would humans feel the journey across the Universe or would it feel instant?
Would it all be one big blur?
What would it feel like if the human body could survive such high G's?
