At the end of the nineteenth century, the teenager Albert Einstein read
a book series by Aaron Bernstein discussing the speed of light. The book 
asked what would happen if an observer moved at the same speed as light. 
Einstein thought much about the issue, and in particular, asked himself what 
kind of electromagnetic field he would observe in that case. Einstein later 
explained that this experiment convinced him already at that young age that 
nothing could travel at the speed of light, since the field observed would 
have a property not found in nature. Can you find out which one he meant? 
Riding on a light beam situation would have strange consequences: 
You would have no mirror image, like a vampire. 
Light would not be oscillating, but would be a static field. 
Nothing would move, like in the tale of sleeping beauty. 
But also at speeds near the velocity of light observations would be 
interesting. You would: 
see a lot of light coming towards you and almost no light from the 
sides or from behind; the sky would be blue/white in the front and 
red/black behind; 
observe that everything around happens very very slowly; 
experience the smallest dust particle as a deadly bullet. 
Can you think of more strange consequences? It is rather reassuring 
that our planet moves rather slowly through its environment, when 
compared to the speed of light.
