Okay, but what if I go the speed of light minus 1m/s and shine a flashlight, can I catch the photons?

No

That's not a physics statement btw. I just think that you, personally, are too slow to be able to do that. Offense intended.

That may seem harsh to the casual reader, but it's 100% true in this case.

It's a 100% in all cases. The light doesn't like you and is trying to get away.

One day we will all be shrouded in the darkness we've created for ourselves.
