| Posted By: Routt Posted On: Nov 9, 2006 Views: 1026 | Light speed? After reading your article "Is superluminal speed possible?" I've thought of something that I'd like clarification on. If an object's mass increases as it approaches light speed, and its size decreases, then if it did in fact attain light speed (I know it's impossible, this is a hypothetical), then wouldn't it then be an infinitely dense mass in a point of zero size--effectively a singularity? Is that, perhaps, what the big bang is? Or rather, was the mass of the big bang the deciding factor in what exactly the speed of light in our universe is? I love your site, Keith, and I'd appreciate some insight into what is likely nothing more than a crackpot musing. |
