Imagine that you had a spaceship that could travel at the speed of light. If you
got in your spaceship and took a well-running clock (any clock that keeps time
well) with you, and then passed by the Earth going at the speed of light, what
would an observer on Earth observe about your clock when they compare it to
an identical clock on Earth?

Your clock would keep time the same as the Earth clock.

Your clock would run faster than the Earth clock.

Your clock would be frozen (stop running).
