Jacques. Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 molecules move al the time in solids, gasses, etc. . . . but seeing as they move could you not make them move at the speed of light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 molecules move al the time in solids, gasses, etc. . . . but seeing as they move could you not make them move at the speed of light No. They have mass, and the amount of energy needed to move at a particular speed diverges as you approach c, i.e. it takes an infinite amount of energy.

farmboy Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 molecules move al the time in solids, gasses, etc. . . . but seeing as they move could you not make them move at the speed of light Do you mean atoms in molecules vibrate all the time, and so could you get them to vibrate with a high enough frequency that it would essentially move at c, or that atoms within a molecule sometimes move to another place in the molecule etc. Or do you perhaps even mean diffusion of atoms in a solid lattice at c?
