how do you know the laser would shift up to blue? mighten it go invisible? to maybe UV? thats a question i got out of this riddle.
also, just like a jet passing mach 1 causes a large boom, what do u guys reckon would happen if a large vehicle passed C? im only in yr10 so simpler words are appreciated🙂
The problem with going faster than C in a rocket is it would take more energy than the whole universe has all channeled into your rocket and you STILL would not get to C, forget going faster! Thats with rockets, the wormhole travel theory goes about it in a sneaky way, bending space, which is like a cloth, it can bend if you have enough mass close together, it can bend into itself and make a loop which could allow you to cross space in one jump rather than just driving through all that distance in a rocket. Its still theory stuff right now but maybe when you are grown up it might be real.
The doppler shift thing is true, the light would blue shift and could end up being X rays if you are going fast enough.

I don't think it ever will be reality, not even in the deep future.

Good to see you muddled up with the details yet again !! This is a classic thought expt. What is inside the box ?? Did Galalao actualy through the ball from a moving house and see where it landed ?? No he did not, nor did Newton, Einst, Hawkin...ect, Wavelenght, red shift the lot is just what you are trying to quantify, but you are missing the pont. You did not even try to A the 10 graders Q! He asked if you could exp "with out big words" you did not and you are still in a muddle!!
