Travelling at the speed of light?[Question]
October 20, 2015 at 12:30 am
Simple question(Clearly hypothetically speaking by the way):

How long could you technically travel at the speed of light? [Side question: When people talk about travelling at the speed of light, why do they never mention the thousands of rocks you would hit every millisecond? Is it because of some law in physics or something that prevents that from occuring(dont know what to call it)? It would seem that you would never be able to travel that fast due to how many asteroids and objects in space you would hit, but I assume i'm wrong]


Assuming everything was in place accordingly, is there anything that would stop you? Would you face any physical problems from travelling that long at that speed?
