Does traveling at the speed of light stop time?

The simple answer is, “Yes, it is possible to stop time. All you need to do is travel at light speed.” Special Relativity pertains specifically to light. The fundamental tenet is that light speed is constant in all inertial reference frames, hence the denotation of “c” in reference to light.

What happens to time past the speed of light?

Time Travel Special relativity states that nothing can go faster than the speed of light. If something were to exceed this limit, it would move backward in time, according to the theory.

What happens to time when you travel at the speed of light?

For that person, time would move slower than for someone who is not moving. For example, if a person is traveling at 90\% of the speed of light, then that person would experience only 10 minutes of time passing, while a stationary person would have experienced 20 minutes. Time will be cut in half!

Is time frozen at the speed of light?

This answer would be undefined or infinity if you will (let’s go with infinity). The reference time ($T_0$) divided by zero would be infinity; therefore, you could infer that time is ‘frozen’ to an object traveling at the speed of light.

What would happen to a person who travels at a different speed?

Short answer: For one, the person traveling at such a speed would experience a slowing of time. For that person, time would move slower than for someone who is not moving. Another thing is that your field of vision would change drastically.

Can we move relative to light?

In essence, there is only one “Light” and we are all in the exact same location relative to it. When we measure the speed of light we actually measure the speed of the propagation of light, the light never moves and has no speed. You also can’t move AT ALL relative to light.
