Faster than the Speed of light

[teppic]

I have a box that is open in a room bathed in natural sunlight and then close it at faster than the speed of light.

I then draw the curtains so the room is in complete darkness.

If I open the box will light be emitted?

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Nope.

Who are you, Superman or something?

If a tree falls in the middle of a forest and nobody hears it, has it even made a sound?

Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, not even Royston Drenthe. In fact, not even light most of the time.

Hypothetically though, the answer is 81.

Yes it does, the molecules still move and create waves.

Yes!

The box is a fridge. There will be light.

no Groucho !!!

the sound waves can move about as much as they like but until there is somebody to pick up these waves audibly then there is no sound !!

But unless that wave then vibrates inside an ear, with said ear transferring the info to a brain, was their sound ? For after all, what is sound ?

Edit : I see Pyscho Pat has already dealt with this. Soz.

Assuming that it was possible to shut the box faster than the speed of light and some light did get trapped inside the box then unless all that light was absorbed by the box presumably some would be tarpped inside the box thus released when the box was opened.

Box.
