How would others see you if you traveled at almost the speed of light?

    Depends... if you were traveling *toward* them, you'd be bluish. If you were traveling away - you'd be reddish.

    Assuming somehow they could see something as small as I am at that speed, they'd see me foreshortened considerably in the direction of travel. And my Timex second hand will be almost, but no quite, stopped. And finally I'd be very massive...although I'm not clear how they would "see" that. More likely they'd detect the enormous gravity pull that I'd be generating at that speed.

    others will see you in the future as you travel at the speed of light, as it stands what we see at normal conditions is in the past.
