If an escalator is moving at just under the speed of light,

[Chief]

and you begin to walk on the escalator, will you teleport to the end of the escalator?

im not sure but imagine what happens if your pants leg gets caught between the steps at a lightyear speed! :rofl:

You done gone theory of relativity on me.

Your answer:








No. Relative to the escalator, you are only moving as fast as you walk. You're not teleporting anywhere.
Now...lets say someone can actually witness this happen. To the by-stander, you would be moving the speed of light, and (if they could even see it) would see you "teleport" to the top/end of it.
