i.gizmodo.com— I've never traveled through space at light speed, but I imagine that standing in this LED tunnel is pretty close to the dizzying experience. The video is just plain awesome.

@TechNuts, if you travel at the speed of light then time stops for you, hence that 10 years is over in a split second for you, but to the peopel on earth 10 years has passed. so whoever you were tryin to correct was already correct. @TehNuts, please do not use wikipedia as reference as it is not official whatsoever.and things with mass can not travel the speed of light because it would take infinite amount of energy to get to that speed. to be going at the speed of light, this means you get anywhere instantly, which means you have condensed the entire universe into a single entity. can you imagine how much energy it takes to fight through the mass of the entire universe? (infinite i guess)a problem i have with this is, if black holes have so much gravity they suck in light, wouldnt that mean that light has to have some mass?
@Shimmy- Wikipedia? no, i referenced common college physics. the reason light moves at the speed that it does is because it is not an "object," it has no mass. to be going at the speed of light does not mean something gets anywhere "instantly" as you state, it means that it would get there pretty damn quickly (relatively to, say, the speed of sound, or the speed of your morning jog, as examples). the other thing wrong with your statement is that an infinite amount of energy could not even theoretically cause a mass to move the speed of light. any semblance of mass cannot reach the speed of light, it can only approach that speed asymptotically.@ag- yep, it's a theoretical science... that's why i am skeptical by statements such as JelloMan's as to what happens to an observer moving the speed of light. i am all for the theoretical sciences, but when people make factual statements and spread them as fact when it is theory, then other people interpret the theory as fact too, when it isn't. thats not science

Reminded me of nine inch nails LEDs.

The earth orbits the sun at 66000 mph which is a decent clip as it is.

Very nice. Wonder how long it took them to make this? I also saw this here.<a class="user" href="http://www.finesttech.com/others/41000-leds-in-one-massive-installation.html">http://www.finesttech.com/others/41000-leds-in-one ...</a>

Can't think about it. It will be awesome to be here and look around.. I wish to see these LEDs someday.<a class="user" href="http://www.sgadgets.org/50-inch-Philips-HD-Plasma-TV.htm">http://www.sgadgets.org/50-inch-Philips-HD-Plasma- ...</a>
