There was a Taoist Philiphosy(SP) that said....
"If a Man goes at the Speed of Light. He won't be a Man anymore. He will become Energy."
Is this true?

Plushie Emperor There was a Taoist Philiphosy(SP) that said.... "If a Man goes at the Speed of Light. He won't be a Man anymore. He will become Energy." Is this true? no unfortunately. What does happen though, is that the mass of a travelling object increases as its velocity appraoches the speed of light, so that mass goes to infinity if that object is travelling at the speed of light, thus it would be impossible. Only massless things can travel at or near the speed of light (ie photons). Interstingly, you've hit upon one of the postulates of Special Relativity, that nothing can travel at the speed of light.

Plushie Emperor "If a Man goes at the Speed of Light. He won't be a Man anymore. He will become Energy." I don't know. If "He will become Energy" is "he will have no rest mass", I suppose that's correct. However, one should be very careful with trying to validate ancient philosophies with modern physics. A lot of the apparent similarities "new-age" books write about are only superficial, no better than crude analogies. They certainly don't prove what their authors want them to prove (or even suggest it, for that matter).

It's really a logical flaw.
Facts:
Things that travel at the speed of light are enegry.
Things that are not enegry do not travel at the speed of light.
Correct conclusion: Things that are not enegry cannot travel at the speed of light.
Incorrect conclusion: Things become enegry at the speed of light.

I think Vannak summarized the issue quite nicely. 3nodding

You will become an infinite mass, as Einstein stated. As you accelerate, your mass gets bigger and bigger when eventually, it is infinite.
Think of it as a long strip of speed, any measurement of speed. As you get to the end with the fastest speed, your mass increases.
The power you could harness from oblects with an infinite mass is tremendous.

True: If a man goes the speed of light, he will either disintegrate or become energy. A time travel theorum says that you will rip the time-space continuum causing yourself to jump through time.
(Just stating what i know on this subject.)

I remember hearing somewhere that if you were to go at the speed of light, light would still bounce the speed of light off of you. I forget who said it, but it sounds interesting, barring the infinite mass thing.

Just because there is a momentum/energy singularity at the speed of light doesn't make the physics any different.

Just because there is a momentum/energy singularity at the speed of light doesn't make the physics any different. The only way it would differ if you were faster, and that won't happen. Though I ask others, why do others think a object with mass would turn into energy as it approaches around the speed of light?

I think it's a silly thing to theorize about a scientific thing with man as a subject. Man is a composition of mass and energy, as are all "things" in my opinion.
I apologize in advance if I say something stupid in this forum as I have extremely little experience with technical scientific stuff.

[Aeora] I think it's a silly thing to theorize about a scientific thing with man as a subject. Man is a composition of mass and energy, as are all "things" in my opinion. I apologize in advance if I say something stupid in this forum as I have extremely little experience with technical scientific stuff. sure no problem, as long as you don't mind being questioned and learning new things. And in advance, don't get offended if someone criticizes something you've said, we don't mean it in a personal way.

I say we get no where theorizing, we must put it to test to see what happens. xd How? I have no clue and I probably never will.
