No I have never gone the speed of light, but the "theory" is indeed fact.

Think of an ambulance approaching you at high speed with the siren on. From inside the ambulance the sound is normal. When it is coming at you you hear a high pitch, then as it passes you you hear a lower pitch. The sound waves are compressed infront of the ambulance then lengthened behind it.

If i fire a 9mm foreward, out the window of my truck, while traveling 55mph the bullet will travel its speed plus 55mph. (Thats my Los Angeles example)
