The speed of light in a vacuum (where there is no air or any other substance) is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (about 300,000 kilometers per second). This is the fastest speed that any object or information can achieve. The speed of light is used to understand the concepts of time and space. Now the question is what can be the consequences if a person travels at the speed of light. Let us know if a person travels at the speed of light, can he become immortal in space. What is the theory behind this?
Is a person really immortal?
First of all, no person can travel at the speed of light and even if it happens, a person cannot become immortal by traveling at the speed of light. Traveling close to the speed of light will cause time dilation, due to which time will slow down for the person traveling, while on Earth time will run at normal speed. According to the theory of relativity, whenever something reaches close to the speed of light, time slows down for it, whereas on earth time continues to move normally.
There is no technology to travel at the speed of light
Traveling at the speed of light may give the illusion of immortality, but in reality it is not immortality, rather time slows down for the person traveling. However, his biological processes will continue as normal and eventually he will grow old and die. Anyway, traveling at the speed of light requires immense energy and at present we have not developed any such technology, which can allow traveling at the speed of light in this way. That is why traveling at the speed of light definitely causes time dilation, but no person can become immortal due to this.
What will happen if you travel at the speed of time
However, by traveling at the speed of light, a person can see any other thing faster. He will see stars, galaxies and other celestial bodies changing their position rapidly. Through this, a wonderful scene will be seen and you will get a chance to explore all the mysteries of the universe. While travelling at the speed of light, it is possible that you jump from one point to another, due to this there will be a change in time and distance.
