A man is driving a car at the speed of light, he turns on the headlights, what happens?
He not only talks about the realistic improbability, but also about the possibility of this happening in a follow up comment.
I know that @snowplusbrd wanted to get not only an articulated answer, but also something with imagination.
Now I have to go and study the Lorenz contraction and time dilation and see how good the gas milage would be!

Smartweb's Answer
@smartweb 's answer is really great and I think it has all the qualities expected for an Answer of the Day nomination. Although it is a bit lengthy, @smartweb has utilized his own experience of SEO & web marketing, and has managed to provide them in a nicely written manner. I would recommend this answer everyone to read this answer who likes to drive some traffic into the pages managed in Mahalo.

M$I like that he used his personal thoughts and experiences and gave practical advice, then backed it up with a book that expounds on what advice he gave. It was practical and straightforward.
Nicely done!

I really liked this non-technical answer because I believe it went to heart of Annek's concerns. Well done.
Respectfully,

Don't worry @philipy... you did.
But as you know, laws have changed before. I'm just keeping my options open!
btw I'm forwarding @snowplusbrd some money for this!
@mithrandir, thanks that's a good idea. Of course, I did that once, and then someone...who was it?....who was it?.....some guy with a fiery wizard avatar....didn't "tag" the comments first. So I tagged the answer as nominated first, then came over here to answer, and this wizard guy had just submitted an answer for the same nominee. Weird, huh? :D
Haha. No really, it's a good idea and I'll keep giving it a shot. It's too fun not to enter around here.
Third day in a row, someone posts the same AOTD nomination I had in mind just minutes before I could get to it. Dagnabbit!
Anyway, agree with you totally, Phu!
Btw... "He not only talks about the realistic improbability..."
It's actually physically impossible, if the physics we know is right. So maybe I didn't explain myself clearly enough. :)
670,616,629 mph: It's not just a good idea, it's the law!
Has anyone ever been ticketed for going over the limit? What's more, how fast must the cop be going to be able to catch him to issue the ticket?
Just wondering,
Shin
I'm sorry there @gno. Next time I'll do a quick mind meld with you first!
Would you mind? Thanks.
Tip: write a comment on the answer 'Great answer, I'm gonna nominate you in a few hours' ...
