Yeah. I wonder what it would look like traveling at FTL speeds. Since the colors you see are just reflections of light, and you are moving faster than light, what would that look like?

  • You would see essentially all white. The way that Star Wars portrays "hyperspace" isn't actually that far off.

  • Depends on what you mean by "FTL." If it's the "bending space" thing (Mass Effect, Alcubierre Drives, etc.), then there are already a lot of representations of what that would look like. If it was actual FTL every photon incident on your eye would release "enough" energy to destroy the universe, so I guess you wouldn't be seeing much.

    Everything look like it was receding instead of coming forward and would be slanting

  • You wouldn't be able to see anything behind you and you'd probably get a lot of warping and sped up movement for whatever is in front of you.
