2) If you are in a van going the speed of light.. and you turn the headlights on... what happens??

The lights will come on normally and shine ahead of you... the speed of light is still ~300,000,000 m/s no matter what the frame of reference

Nice! Mathematics and Physics ey? I wanted to go into this. I gave it up and decided to go into medicine instead. I have much respect for mathemeticians and physicists.

Congrats.

I took quite a bit of mathematics in college because I bounced majors like Jordan bounces the basketball. Too bad I can hardly do long division anymore (JK
