so if you went 1 mph below the speed of light and you turned on your headlights, you would see them reach away from you at 1 mph! that would be so sick

no, if you were moving at almost the speed of light, FROM YOUR VIEW the headlights would travel at the speed of light ahead of you.

From a 3rd person view the two speeds don't simply add because the dimensions of space are warped. To someone watching you travel across space at light speed you would be flat and the light would travel right in front of you barely faster than you are moving. You always perceive space to have the same dimensions and time, however RELATIVE to other fast moving things you can clearly see things are warped and time moves slower.

If anybody actually wants to learn about relativity this is a really good simple explanation

1. Does the universe end? If it does, what it is at the end, and how can it just end.
Example, a table ends. but then there is air and then a wall and so forth. So if the universe ends whats on the other side?

If the universe doesn't end, how can something go on forever? just try and imagine the universe going on and never stopping in every direction, you can't.

2. Evolution, if you believe in evolution, as i do and everything can be traced back to 1 organism where did that

FUCK my internet, post continued.

one organism come from? you can't create something from nothing so then is that proof of a god?

3. If you believe in God and have a religion, what religion is God? Because if he is the almightly being and nothing is higher, wouldn't that make him an atheist? Because if he believes in God, which is himself, thats just stupid.

So who is closer to God, one who believes in him, or one who beleives in the same thing as him??

Say the speed of light is 100km/h.

So you are driving at 100km/h down the road and decide to turn you lights on which also would go at 100km/h.

Your lights would be on but you would not see the light as your car would catch up to the light before you could see, but anyone to the side would see the light constantly in front of the car, never gaining or dropping any space.

I have the concept in my head, its just hard to explain in words

if you turned your lights on, they would be on. Done. They wouldn't project in front of you though, because you are traveling as fast as that light would be. So the headlights would be on, but they wouldn't brighten everything ahead of you.

I've always wondered if people see the same colors.  Like if I look at the sky, it's blue, but what if someone else looks at the sky and sees what I think is green?  They are trained to know that color is blue, so even if they are seeing my green, they know it as blue, so everyone sees the sky as blue, even if we're seeing different colors?

I can actually answer this. There was a whole thing on it in my economics textbook last year. To keep things short they initially sold because they were cute and pretty cheap (about 5 bucks an animal). After a while it became largely popular and despite the craze, the owner kept the price at the same 5 dollars. However to help feed the craze over it he controlled how many were made and purposely held back production on some so it was pretty much guaranteed that the limited edition ones were going to be bought up and that they would make a profit. The consumer wants more, the stores are only getting shipped specific ones and in low quantities, and the manufacturer makes profit. Its basic capitalism really

my great grandfather, Hershal Dickofsky, immigrated from russia to the united states of america via ellis island some years ago. upon arrival, the immigration staff decided to make an EPIC LULZ and change his name to Harry Dick. that would be precisely how the DIck legacy came to be. and then my mother came along, Debbie Heiman. She met my father, Brad Dick. They thought "hmmm....we could get an even MOAR epic legacy going here! LETS GET MARRIED AND HAVE HEIMAN-DICK CHILDREN" and that's basically where my last name came from. true story.
