Traveling at the Speed of Light

Everything in space experiences time.

Another interesting thought I had is about a human body traveling at the speed of light. Since the human body is regulated by Earths core, traveling at the speed of light might throw the regulated heartbeat out of sync causing the heart to stop.

Would death occur or would the body go into a state of stasis?

Death is determined to have taken place when the body processes cease to function and natural decomposition sets in. If traveling at the speed of light stops the processes in the human body then traveling at the speed of light would also stop or stasisfy the bacteria that are responsible for natural decomposition.

Decomposition would not take place. All life in the module should go into a form of stasis or would be frozen in time.

The question is when the module dropped out of light speed and encountered normal gravity and the human was placed on a planet, would the planets core jump the humans heart like a defibrillator that is used in a hospital to restart a non-beating heart?

Would the human retain all memory of itself at the point it went into stasis and continue where it left at after coming out of stasis?

Life could have been created at the speed of light in space and was then held in stasis until it discovered gravity which then began the life processes.

Does time experience time?

What? Straight

But seriously, what led you to believe or where was it said that humans bodies are regulated by a planet's core and how did this work when we landed on the moon? The Moon has a rock solid core with no hot spinning inner core that creates a magnetic field.

This guy has your answer.

He answers whackier questions than the one in the OP like "What is the purpose of meaning?".

Time does not experience because time is only an illusion that your mind is constructing by keeping information for some interval when something is interacting in your brain with space, with speed.

For example human traveling with 1/1000 speed of light would experience this illusion as something different than someone who is traveling with 1/1001 speed of light (objectively). They would both experience it in space as same experience (subjectively), but their clocks would tick with different speeds. Their experience of time illusion would be the same because their mind ticks together with clock.

Speed is irrevocably tied with space, and so is illusion of time for mind.

If you are traveling in space, as you are traveling with speed, you are "traveling in time".

Experience of time while the same, is something different than experience of speed. Experiencing speed is like reminder that you should be worried about that illusion of time.

Don't stop me now (yes I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all... yeah!

Every human moving would experience illusion of time differently (objectively).

Maximum expansion speed of waves, electromagnetic and gravitational, is halted by properties of space itself.

Maximum speed slows this experience of time to a halt. Because you could not move faster, whatever would constitute your body at that speed, could not move even faster to make up that illusion of time that is difference in perception of space around you.
Your mind while keeping the speed of light, would stop recording time. You would be effectively timeless. You would be all speed, with no place for any more speed, no information for recording instrument because there is no difference in speed in body that moves with speed of light.

Guys, nevermind this traveling at c stuff, the real mystery is the fact our heart is regulated by the Earth's core.

Moot point and also not, OP

We travel beyond the speed of light, for we travel at ludicrous speed.

As a result we are both dead and alive in transit.

Kind of a Schrödingery wibbily wobbly timey wimey thing.

Exceeding the speed of light results in the red and blue shifts getting all kinds of frakked up.

If you are travelling at the speed of light you need FreeSync TM so you can see things without shearing and tearing.

Deplorables...smh

If time was an illusion then matter would not exist. Time is the measurable distance between two points involving an energetic reaction within a medium that where the medium affects the result of the reaction and can also be affected upon.

Suspended Stasification Aeffectation

Time traveling is similar to FTL (Faster Than Light) travel. The faster that you travel the more space that occupy. The question is once the body crosses the threshold of FTL and Time Travel does the body die due to gravity not being able to regulate the heartbeat properly?

A fascinating aspect of death at FTL and TT is that if the body dies the body would not begin to decompose because the chemical processes involved with bacteria would not be present because the bacteria would have also have died. So does death really occur or is the body placed into a state of suspended stasification where not even exposure to radiation would aeffect, pronounced eye-ffect or the body being influenced by something and the effect that created suspended stasification that is only possible when traveling at FTL and faster as well as Time Traveling, would not influence the process of decomposition. If true and the body is in fact placed into a state of suspended stasification aeffectation because of gravity not being able to regulate the heart beat of the human and bacteria, would the body return to a normal state of being alive once the human body returned to a dimension of space-time that was governed by the heartbeat of gravity within the area that human body was occupying? Would the human brain retain the memories that had been stored in electrical patterns? Would the human remember who they were or would the human have to start again from the beginning and relearn everything that they had previously known?

More importantly though is the thought that if humans do go into a state of suspended stasification aeffectation at FTL speeds then life would exist at the velocity of FTL and faster velocities that when the life residing above FTL velocities slows to a velocity that a heart would be affected by gravity to creating a pumping of circulation then life would be created. Life that would be created across the Universe and even outside of the Universe as well.

Fact: If you travel at the speed of light from and then back to earth, you'll find the planet has been taken over by highly evolved apes and the statue of liberty is now beach junk.
