If you were moving faster than light, would you still be able to see light. And if you weren’t accelerating any faster, just staying constant, would you be able to see the light traveling behind you?
In: Physics
I’m not sure but, in this hypothetical scenario:
If you are going in the same direction as the source of light near to you, what you would see in front of you would be just darkness, and behind would also be the same. Because of what you see, is what the light has reached and reflected into your eyes. If you are constantly moving faster than the light (and even worse, away from it), the light reflected from the objects will never reach your eyes, being this, you will never see stuff.
A physicist will have more property to answer. This is just somewhat what I suppose from what I know.
Speed of light is a brainfuck. Saying you can’t go faster than the speed of light isn’t innacurate. But it’s a bit simplified. What actually happens is no matter how fast you’re going you’ll always measure light as propogating at the same speed. What does change is the wavelength of the light. So if you travel very close to the speed of light and look at a stationary lightsource behind you it’ll be redshifted to a wavelength that human eyes can’t detect. Of course a lightsource on your ship will look normal to you but be redshifted to the people back home.
You can’t travel faster than light. Since our theories don’t allow faster-than-light travel, they can’t be used to predict what would happen.
So not only is your question practically impossible, it’s also impossible to give a theoretical answer.
That said, though, the speed of light in a vacuum is the same to all observers, so the inside of your spaceship would look the same regardless of what speed it is traveling at.
You can’t travel faster than light, so what would happen would be impossibilities. It would be impossibly bright, because light would reach you as photons with more than infinite energy.
