It consists of numerous galaxies, stars, planets, etc. However, until now, we are able to examine only a few of them. So, in order to cross vast distances and explore distant places, we need to travel very fast. Now, it is observed that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, which is about 186,282 miles per second. This means light from earth will take only 1.3 seconds to reach the moon. Let s compare this to the Apollo 11 spacecraft that took 75 hours and 56 minutes to just enter the orbit of the moon. So, imagine if we could travel faster than light, then space travel would be so easy. We could time travel and even see our future. However, traveling faster than light is impossible. Do you know why? According to Einstein s theory of relativity, to move an object, we require energy. Now, to make this moving object move faster or speed up, we require even more energy. So, what do you think? How much energy will be required to make an object move at the speed of light? If we again refer to the Einstein s theory of relativity, we can conclude that it will require an infinite amount of energy to make an object move at the speed of light. But, looking at the current situation, neither do we have the necessary resources, nor do we have the technology to produce an infinite amount of energy. Hence, we cannot travel at the speed of light or faster. Moreover, just like a sonic boom is produced by an object traveling faster than sound, similarly, a huge amount of radiation will be produced by an object traveling faster than light. This radiation can lead to serious consequences. Hence, it is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. Also, don t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel.
