GTFO troll. I only brought it up because he mentioned the light thing. I've got lots of reasons for my arguements.

Vegeta can track a Death beam because his mental and nervous capacities have sped up. This means that the electrochemical signals sent from his retina to his brain, and the subsequent processing and attaching of meaning to those signals, happens much faster than a regular human. However, his eyes still rely on the light hitting them to form the pattern on his retina so his mind can perceive it.

If he's passing things before the light from them hits his retinas, he cannot perceive them, no matter how fast his reflexes are, because he is physically not getting any signal. Think of it like an antenna system or something. Most people might have a CB radio, good for a few kilometers, but Vegeta might have a satellite boosted system that can get signals from halfway across the globe (likened to increased reflexive speed). However, if the signals are being prevented from hitting his antenna for whatever reason (a mountain, being in a lead-lined room, doesn't really matter), then it doesn't matter at all how good his antenna is, because he's not getting the signal. This is what happens when you surpass the speed of light. Your retinas aren't getting the signals required to perceive what's going on. The same applies to Gotenks.

And since this would be an impossible and foolhardy way to fight or even travel, clearly he doesn't move faster than the speed of light.

Nice vocabulary. I don't know what you're trying to prove because I've already explained that their bodies adjust to it.

The escape velocity of a black-hole is beyond the speed of light. It is therefore possible to travel at speed greater than it.

You all do realize that in space, you cannot move at all, and, after a few seconds, you suffocate and die. You also might freeze to death instantly. I'm sure that even Akira Toriyama knows that, due to the whole "Freeza can survive in the vacuum of space, while Goku cannot" thing.

This all can be avoided if you go at a certain speed, of course.

They'd have to go 21,000 mph just to escape Earth's gravity and Goku was approaching these speeds in Draonball when he leaped thousands of feet into the air, saw clouds, and then slowly fell back down.

Quick question: Does anyone think it's impossible for them to travel AT the speed of light...?
