What happens as you approach the speed of light?

The video explores the effects of approaching the speed of light, explaining why it's impossible for objects with mass due to the infinite energy required. It uses a game to simulate the experience, highlighting phenomena like the relativistic Doppler effect, searchlight effect, and time dilation. As speed increases, colors shift, brightness changes, and time slows relative to stationary observers. The video also discusses the aberration of light and how it alters perception. Overall, it provides a thought experiment on the implications of light speed travel.

Why is it impossible for objects with mass to reach the speed of light?

• They would become invisible.

• They would stop moving.

• They would require infinite energy.

• They would lose mass.

What happens to colors when traveling at high speeds due to the relativistic Doppler effect?

• Colors remain unchanged.

• Colors disappear completely.

• Colors shift to wavelengths we can detect.

• Colors become more vibrant.

What is the searchlight effect?

• Objects ahead appear brighter.

• Objects behind remain unchanged.

• Objects ahead appear darker.

• Objects behind appear brighter.

How does time dilation affect fast-moving objects?

• Time stops completely for them.

• Time speeds up for them.

• Time remains constant for them.

• Time slows down for them.

What would happen if you traveled at the speed of light for one year?

• A hundred years would pass on Earth.

• No time would pass on Earth.

• Ten years would pass on Earth.

• One year would pass on Earth.

What is the effect of the aberration of light on perception?

• It makes objects appear closer.

• It increases the field of view.

• It distorts colors.

• It narrows the field of view.

How does the Lorentz transformation affect objects at high speeds?

• Objects appear smaller.

• Objects appear larger.

• Objects appear where they were in the past.

• Objects appear where they are in the present.
