According to Einstein&#8217;s theory of relativity, as you approach the speed of light, time dilation occurs. Essentially, time slows down for you relative to someone who is stationary. So, theoretically, if you were traveling at the speed of light, time would stand still for you, and you wouldn&#8217;t experience the passage of time. This means you wouldn&#8217;t be able to catch up to your yesterday because time wouldn&#8217;t be passing for you in the same way it does for someone who is stationary.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is a purely theoretical concept as nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light according to our current understanding of physics. Also, as you approach the speed of light, your mass would increase infinitely, requiring infinite energy to continue accelerating, which is not feasible. So, while it&#8217;s an intriguing idea to entertain, it remains firmly in the realm of science fiction for now.<\/p>\n<h2>From Daniel&#8217;s Multimedia Album: <a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/Daniel\/Omnilogy\">Omnilogy<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running at the Speed of Light.mp4 Running at the Speed of Light (Standing Still).mp4 Running at the Speed of Light.mp3 Running at the Speed of Light (Standing Still).mp3 &nbsp; If I could run as fast as the speed of light, could I catch up to my yesterday?
