A Questioning Thought for the Day

[ezdays]

Yes...if you turned the car around. The electrons from the headlights would then be traveling slower that the speed of light - Doppler Effect - and would be "on".

Let's assume that the car is traveling in a northerly direction. Turning the car facing south would then require the electrons to have to overcome the inertia of the wire going north at the speed of light and since electrons go at the speed of light they would have to move to the south down the wire at twice the speed of light, or at a minimum, something faster than the speed of light in order to reach the light bulb, so I'd say that theory is out of gas..
