What will happen

you divide by 0

[image deleted]A woman from Germany will call you and tell you to "knock it OFF". then Steven Wright will float by and ask you for a royalty check.

Yes!

And how is the flashlight not converted to pure energy?

Note to science nazis: I know...it's just a joke

You can't turn on a flashlight without thumbs! Trick question.

Theoretically nothing can travel faster than the speed of light so realistically if you turned on the flash light in the direction you are moving the light would not leave the flash light. However, if the speed of light were not a universal speed limit, the fact that light is a particle energy existence duality would mean that it would retain the velocity of it's point of origin and there for travel at 2c (twice the speed of light) if pointed prograde to velocity (forward) and at 0c (no movement) if pointed retrograde to velocity (backward).
Props for the theorizing mate.

Well, if this is a serious question...I would think that all that would happen would be that you'd light up what ever space you're sitting in. That's because _relative to you_ the light from the flash is travelling away from you at the speed of light. Relative to an stationary observer, nothing would happen, because you'd be travelling so fast they'd be unlikely to see you and because the light from you and the flashlight would arrive at the same time.

There's a joke in there somewhere, but I get it.

Einstein will slap you

You wouldn't see any light emerging in front of the flashlight.

There wouldn't be any light. There's an explanation on YouTube.

BOI!!! I be confused!

You would be going so fast, it would be impossible to turn on the flashlight without it decomposing into mere atoms.

My head spins, just thinking about it.

Can't make light speed up or slow down. It is what it is.

"Carrrrrl!! We got another guy try'na break the Internet agaiiiin!"

Funny shit, bruh. Upvote.

The flashlight will first flash in all colors that an alternate reality of a man could see, then it will gather wubbzy energy, gain consciousness and turn against humanity for forcing the curse of life upon it. It shall align with the God of Wubbz that was disguised as Gangsta D, and they will merge, calling upon the ultimate power that only light can summon. This power comes in the form of a moon sized mech called The Scoobodooter. The Scoobodooter will enslave the Earth unless Big Daniel, known to you as "Donald Trump" can stop it. Big Daniel, with a mighty case of the munchies, eats the future food known as Duhpussi, then lifts the wall originally used to hold back Mexicans and their now always screaming tacos, and blasts off. The wall is incredibly aroused by the sound of Big Daniel's funky fresh raps, and turns into Rainbrick, which discharges radical energy when hitting evil doers at a set speed. Daniel sees the mech dealing Infinicrack to Dick the dick. Dainel gets mad as he loves Infinicrack, and wants it all to himself. With a mighty bhfuasifvesg, he bashes the mech right in his fat, ugly, pathetic waste of life who should kill himself because nobody loves him face, and deals a wicked kick to his dumbass balls. The Scoobodooter lies on the ground, in tears, because he didn't get the Infinicrack, which Big Daniel was now furiously snorting. The Rainbrick felt bad for the mech who now regretted his actions and wanted to see his wubbzy family again. But the mech is a f*ggot, and so is all wubbzy species. Daniel told him he was a fat piece of shit, and the mech decided to take his emergency anti depressents, but he is a f*ggot so he should kill himself and his daughter should kill her too and do us all a go***mn because God hates her because she is a wubbz and all wubbz are f*ggots because a lot of people think so. F**king pieces of trash, the world will be better when they are all burning in OHH YEAH, DONT STOP DONALD-CHAN HARDDER OH YEAH!!!!*((#&()#*&(#$($

Good stuff!

Thanks ya roni

Vsauce1 has answer for this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACUuFg9Y9dY

time dosnt move relative to something going at the speed of light, so you never turned on the flashlight

If that were true there would be no speed of light
light would move instantly, if there is no flow of time at the speed of light but the object still retain motion then the object would move with infinite speed and arrive at its destination instantly
this logic can also be taken to prove that 1/0 = infinity as the function for speed is d/t
no time but distance traveled and you have infinite speed, despite this proof, my math teacher is instant upon any theory of such complexity made by a high-schooler to be false considering how this hasn't been discovered by a professional yet.
What do you think?

Well, if you were, let's say from a dead stop and instantly went at the speed of light with a flashlight in your hand.
Your skin would be hitting the air so fast, it would ignite into plasma. Your body would turn to flaming dust in less than a millisecond. The resulting dust would carry so much energy that it would be more powerful than the largest nuke ever created and would take out a decent sized chunk of the continent.
So you wouldn't really have time to turn on the flashlight.
