When traveling at the speed of light, certain effects take place which are found only when achieving light speed. If a person in a space craft were to
travel through the vacuum of space, the fabric of his existence, spacetime, begins to bend and give way to his spacecraft. (correct me if I am wrong)
In a sense the laws of gravity are begining to be manipulated. We know this one effect to be true as certain light given off by stars has a tendency
to bend around other stars eluding them to their location, and allowing us to further map the cosmos. If this were not so, we would never know
of these brilliant wonders.
Now, not only can light bend around objects in space, but even certain particles of light known as neutrinos have the ability to travel through
planets. What I am trying to get at is what happens when our traveler of the cosmos going the speed of light and approaches a planet (or star) and
instead of taking any sort of evasive maneuver, rams straight into the planet. Now what would happen? One of the greatest crashes worthy alongside
Evil Kenevil or would it seem as though our traveler just passed through the planets as he had been passing through the vacuum of space previously? My
theory lies on the second. As he approaches the speed of light, the forces of gravity become manipulated and he is therefoe able to weeve
through the planet. Now what I am really getting at is what happens when the traveler cuts short his journey through such an object, this time not a
planet but another space ship. Will the two come to coexist or destroy each other? Kinda of like the one X-Files episode were Mulder switches places
with another government agent during some disturbances in the gravitational field which also leaVES one man integrated into his shop's floor and two
lovers forever intertwined. What I want to know is the medical application of this event. Is it possible to take say two kidneys, shoot one the speed
of light at the other, stop it on a dime and create some sort of super kidney?
