Assuming that it is indeed possible for a sole entity apart from light to travel at the speed of light, it would require an acceleration no greater then the maximum g-force a human can withstand. That being said, the average human can withstand safely a g-force of about 3G. A trained human can withstand a g-force of about 6G per se. So assuming this particular human is to travel at light speed, they would still need to maintain regular cycles such as eating, drinking and so on. That being said no more then 3G is realistic. After doing calculations, using t = (V2 - V1)/a, plugging cin for v2, 0 in for v1, and 3G in for a, we find the time required to reach light speed is approximately 31 years. So to now answer the question, a human could travel at light speed by spending 31 years at an acceleration of 3G. Take into account however, that time will slow down for the person approaching the speed of light. If he was able to reach the speed of light it is theorized that time would stop all together.

No. Nor can any object that travels at speeds below the speed of light, move at the speed of light. Subatomic particles in particle accelerators come very close, though.

Will light speed travel be possible in our lifetime?

Probably not in five lifetimes! Light speed travel is a work of fiction, like in sci fi movies. No human will ever travel at the speed of light.


Is it possible for a human to travel in light speed?

Not by our current understanding of physics or technology.


Is it possibie to travel at the speed of light?

Nothing with a rest mass can travel at exactly the speed of light, it would take an infinite amount of energy. Light can travel at that speed because it has zero rest mass. Earlier Answer below So far, we don't know if a human can travel at lightspeed. However, it's easier to travel at the speed of light than to travel through time. New Answer: The problem I always had with the term light speed is that speed is relative. We may be traveling close to the speed of light right now in relation to some other object in the universe.


What do you need to travel at the speed of light?

There is no way to travel at the speed of light.


Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?

The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.


Can a person travel at a speed of light?

No. Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light.


How does one travel faster than the speed of light?

No human or machine can travel the light of speed. No matter how close you are to the speed of light if you have all the thrust in the universe you cannot get going past the speed of light. The familiar notions of absolute space and absolute time independent of your relative motion must give way.


Does anyone have a theory on how to possibly time travel or breaking down human cells to travel at light speed and back to normal again?

No, they do not.


How do you travel in the speed of light?

You don't. The only objects that can travel at the speed of light are those that ONLY travel at that speed, like photons or gravitons.

What can travel at speed of light?

Any massless "thing" like a photon and MAYBE a neutrino. NOTHING with mass can travel at the speed of light. Photons travel at the speed of light. The entire electromagnetic spectrum travels at the speed of light.


What travels at light speed besides engines?

Engines cannot travel at light speed. The only thing that can travel at this speed is the Photon, the particle of light.
