I did some easy calculations once.

Even travelling at only 10% of the speed of light -
if your spaceship hit a grain of dust only weighing one microgram -
it would explode with the power of 4 sticks of dynamite on the hull.

Long story short -
it's impossible to survive such speeds.

Sounds like complex calculations to me.

Apparently the rate of acceleration needed to reach the speed of light is too great for us to survive. The G-forces would kill us .

Then again, what if we create 'dust deflectors' and 'G-Force eliminators' ?

Easy - 1/2 m v squared.

Dust particles are not magnetically or electrically charged so they can't be deflected.

The Universe doesn't exist. It's just visual effects that as they evolve over decades, produce more and more better quality pixels and dots posing as galaxies 14 billion light years away.
People are starting to catch on, that the Universe has been created on their TV sets in pace with AI technologies, that NASA is now trying to throw Conspiracists off the scent by distorting realities of the Universe by calling it Gravitational Lensing. They couldn't come up with what's at the centre of a Galaxy. If it was just Light, it might empower Religion to claim it is God! So they just left it as nothing and called them Black Holes after reading about a hole in Calcutta long ago. People and Conspiracists aren't stupid you know. They're asking the big questions. So much so, AI NASA &Co have cleverly masked it as Dark Matter (like an unwritten script for sequels to come) and even produced a computer generated picture from a telescope of a universally massive Question Mark ❓
To prove to people it's a big 'dunno' ❓ until the next episode of "WE LIVE IN A CGI MULTI VERSE OF DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS THAT CAN TRAVEL AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT THROUGH CYBER SPACE'

Rumour has it that the next AI created 'next big discovery' is of Voyager 1 going into a Worm's Hole, never to be seen or heard of again until the remake of Star Trek: the Motion Picture

So. To answer the Question: IF YOU TRAVELLED AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT...

Well, Light does speed up and slow down pending on what it's up against like gravity, gas, particles and so much more! Gravitational lensing shows light that has slowed and been bent. Cosmic voids allow things to move very fast, like expansionism. So the Speed of Light is never a constant. As is the expansion of the universe not a constant. In some parts, it retracts.

...you would see ABSOLUTELY NOTHING if you travelled at the speed of light.

This, I can ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE you, to be true.
