Light vacuum
I’m really high right now so idk how dumb I’m going to sound
When an object travels the speed of sound in a section of the air behind it gets really low pressure causing a shockwave and a sonic boom
If an object could and did travel faster than the speed of light would “light pressure” decrease and cause a light or photonic boom? Is that what Cherenkov radiation is?
