Many people say that the clocks will stop running when we travel in the speed of light. Is it true?

Be careful here – The reason that a photon (discrete packet of light) travels at 3X10^8 m/s, is due to the fact that it has no mass. Therefore, given E=MC^2, as an object with mass accelerates to the speed of light, its mass increases. Therefore, can we ever travel at light speed – looking at it, this seems like a boundary condition that we could not overcome. In regards to what would happen, time is relative as Einstein has said, it is unique to the individual/object. Given this, if I travel a a large distance from the earth (1 light-year) in to space at a very high speed (3X10^8m/s), my journey will have been instantaneous for me (no time passed). On my return however, you would have aged 2 years.
I wouldn’t know untill i tried so maybe you wouldn’t know unless you tried ^_^
If the G-forces dont kill ya we will probable become immortal
It has been proven that time slows down for objects in motion; even at speeds we are capable of reaching (more noticeable in planes and rockets.) However, from the passenger’s perspective, the processes of their mind and body would also slow down so they would notice no change.
So if you were to reach the speed of light it is very well possible that time would stop but you would never know it because you would also stop. For all we know, we could be traveling at the speed of light right now. Even at the speed of light, the speed of light is still the speed of light.
According to albert einstien you can’t travel as fast as light because light is an energy. So you would have to be an energy to travel that fast. But if you did you would probably become anti-matter and if you ever touched matter you would explode.
Tell me when you find out
everything stops.
You”ll turn to energy and you”ll vanish
so try and tell me.
