I was asking my dad recently "If you were to run faster than the speed of light, could you run over your shadow?" He didn’t know the answer...

What do you think?

You cant go faster than the speed of light but light can be slowed down. If you google Scientists Have Filmed a 'Sonic Boom' of Light For The First Time you should get a hit. Sorry cant post the link
