Question

can you run so fast that you'd run over your back? if so how fast?

Answer 2

why do you mean by that? elaborate a bit

Answer 3

Hypothetically speaking , would it be possible to run at enough speed to go in a loop that you would run over yourself.

Answer 4

the speed limit is speed of light ... no matter how much you move fast, you will never reach the speed of light.
your particular answer is difficult to answer, I think uncertainty principle is related here.

Answer 5

Your speed is the same for every part of your body, so the only way to run over yourself would be if one part of your body was moving lower than the rest, which is impossible because then it wouldn't be stuck to you.
Maybe if you cut your arm off...

Answer 6

so the uncertainty principle might allow this to happen?

Answer 7

classically the answer is no.
in Quantum Mechanics, you might

Answer 8

i don't know how to interpret this, as you move fast and fast around in a loop, you behave wavelike and there is a chance of fining you at your own back.

Answer 9

Cut a body part off, run over it, done.

Answer 10

*finding you

Answer 11

No, you can't.

Answer 12

I imagine that you'd be dead due to the massive amount of energy your molecules would have (They'd surely have enough energy to separate in to elemental particles or atoms or something), far before you'd get to quantum-mechanics-enabling velocity.

Answer 13

What if my imagination is faster than the speed of me running and my imagination runs over my body does that count or would that be part of "consciousness" which has to do with quantum physics and I don't know what I'm talking about :D

Answer 14

Takes away my medal lmao

Answer 15

The problem is that if you are in your loop, you are always the loops length away from yourself.
