Hyperspace looks like a blur





In science fiction movies when driving faster than the speed of light flashed outside the windows of the band: the opinion of the writers, because the stars have to look at a flight through hyperspace when the light coming from them as though "stretched", becoming a line. But let's stick to scientific knowledge: the passengers spacecraft at such a rate could not see the stars at all. Instead of shining portholes will blur.

The closer the moving object to the light source, the shorter the wavelength becomes, and vice versa - when moving away from the light source, the waves become longer will shift toward the red color spectrum and eventually move into the invisible to the naked eye infrared range. In the case of hyperspace will act opposite effect - when the speed exceeds the speed of light, stars svetot shift to the blue spectrum, and then goes into the X-ray range and will no longer be clearly discernible to the human eye. This phenomenon is due to the Doppler effect.

However, the cosmic background radiation, which arose with the universe in the Big Bang about 13 billion years ago, is in the visible spectrum. Therefore, people who fly on a space ship on a superluminal speed, will see the light of the newly born universe as if witnessed this event. In theory, of course.
