So, you're travelling at the speed of light.....

And you hold out a mirror in front of you.

Do you see;

A. Nothing but he dark void of emptiness.
B. Your arm, hand and a mirror but no reflection.
C. Your arm, hand and a mirror, and a reflection.
D. Something else my work colleague and I haven't thought of.

PH, discuss.

1) You have rest mass, you cannot travel at the speed of light.
However assuming asymptotic approach to C...
2) The speed of light is frame invariant, within your frame of reference everything appears completely normal.
3) Things you see looking out of the window are interestingly different.

You say in my frame of reference everything seems completely normal? But is that really correct? I've seen Star Trek and when the Enterprise warps, it's anything but normal.

But if I'm driving at 99.999% of the speed of light, how fast are the tops of the wheels going?

Depends on whether you're running 16" or 22" surely?
