Here are three fun physics questions to ponder this weekend.

1) If you are driving through space at the speed of light and turn on your headlights, does the light proceed forward or stay in the headlight mechanism?
2) What happens to the light from your tail lights?
3) If the cosmic police manage to catch up to you, how would the strobe lights on the officer's car appear to an observer traveling slightly slower than you in the other lane?
Edit for those who took physics at community college: Obviously, the vehicles have no mass and are capable of driving in space. Otherwise this would be too easy.

the theory of relativity is bull shite

You don't need headlights in space because there are no obstacles, lanes or other vehicles stupid.

See answer to 1

I would most likely be too drunk to tell
Hope this helps. I took a semester of physics at community college

I'll bet you're a shite load of fun at parties

Of course, but for just for these questions, assume that objects with mass can travel the speed of light.

same as #1

They would have to break the speed of light for that to happen
