Nothing has ever travelled at the speed of light especially light

    actually we have no way of knowing that, because if it did, we wouldn't be able to see it doing so.

    (or receive any other sort of signal to indicate its doing so, because as yet we know of none impervious to that relationship between mass and energy,
    which is what that constant represented by little 'c' actually represents. not actually the 'speed' of anything.)

    this doesn't quite prove anything to not be possible though,
    just that we as yet know of no way for it to be.

    No, the contradictions are contextual, implying that massive objects can be considered to simultaneously move slower than light individually, and faster than light collectively, depending on the context. Superfluidity, superconductivity, time crystals, and even macroscopic observations of time moving backwards and such things as an autonomous Maxwell's Demon all indicate that time has no demonstrable meaning outside of a specific context. This is also what the Standard Theory suggests, that the arrow of time can be considered illusory in some situations. Exactly what is reality and what is illusion then also becomes context dependent, making the issue a pragmatic one that revolves around thermodynamics, efficiency, the lowest possible energy state of the system, and maximum entropy production. All of the current accepted theories incorporate yin-yang dynamics.

    If two people look at a rainbow, they never see the same rainbow as it changes on heights and agles, so that to me means light is perceived differently from person to person. Wouldn't that perception also differ person to person to how fast light travels?

    Quantum Photography is a new field, but it allows the operator to see colors like ultra violet or even x-rays I suppose if you had the right equipment. Light is not what you think it is and, in fact, they can now make "photonic-matter".

    Quantum Photography :tearsofjoy:
    Ahh that's a good'n.

    They take pictures of objects without shining light on them. Its rather bizarre, but you can theoretically see all the colors of the rainbow using the technique. Once you get up to x-rays and gamma rays the equipment would start to be destroyed each time it fired, but you could see the result. The record for teleportation is now over a hundred miles, while I could go on and on all day long and people would just go cross eyed, but this is really happening. Reality, it turns out, is beyond anyone's imagination, and Stephen Hawking would be upset if he were still alive.

    Ah yeah, run a few filters over images, bound to see something.

    No, its quantum mechanics, and the axions or microtubules in your brain are quantum amplifiers with more than one stage apparently. I know, I know, it sucks when reality just doesn't meet our expectations.

    If you want people to explain things, I suggest learning how to ask questions.

    Sorry to disappoint, but everything I write is for my research. I design bots that people will love to argue with, even if they know they are bots.

    That's what makes it even more funnier though. You aren't disappointing me at all.

    And I suggest you actually read up on some these phrases you are cutting and pasting off the web


    No such thing as Quantum Photography


    But by all means, provide a link for something you think qualifies as Quantum Photography, and I will tear it apart

    Sounds like a loaf of quantum baloney. :sweatsmile:

    I don't even know what the word quantum means.

    I have a free outstanding offer to teach anyone how to use a dictionary and search engine.

    I'd literally have to care though and I literally don't care. :tearsofjoy: it's all quantum bullshit.
