	Then they would get where the light was going really, really fast! Also, they would be able to sell the technology and become really, really rich. What, specifically, are you trying to ask? Practical applications? (limited) Physiological effects? (uncertain) Technical requirements? (unknown) Increase in scientific understanding? (exponential) Can you phrase your question better?

	There once was a question so bad, It turned gentle responders to cads, It asked about light, But didn't ask right, So the replies were poetic and mad! milo __________________ People say between two opposed opinions the truth lies in the middle.

	What if some one had the technology to travel attach themselves to light in order to travel at light speed? Then man can travel across galaxies, look at the universe at different perspective. If that someone needs apprentice, I will be willing to become one. :)
