Faster than the speed of light...

Someone asked me the other day.

"what would happen, if you were driving faster than the speed of light, and you turned your headlights on?"

so... any takers?

I say, nothing would happen.

to an observer outside your craft - you would be completely invisible; as vision as we know it depends on light to be reflected off a surface for it to be seen.

from you're own point of view... you, your control panel, the interior of your craft and everything else would also be completely invisible as you would be moving faster than the light required for you to see other objects.
