now this was a mind bender, and a new way to look at light speed and time. Essentially you exist between time and velocity. At rest, you have next to no velocity but feel the full affects of linear time. Increase velocity towards the speed of light, and you trade time for velocity. Get all the way up to light speed and you have nearly all velocity and experience very little time. You will only ever slide along this scale and trade velocity for time, or time for velocity. You cannot go faster than the speed of light, or the combined effects of time and velocity.
What's the real reason you can't go faster than the speed of light?
The real reason that we cannot travel faster than light speed is far more interesting than the textbook answer.bigthink.com
