If you have a Particle which is faster than the speed of (light in water), would it disappear in water, or turn into blackness?

It depends on the position of the viewer. If the viewer is in front or or parallel to the particle, the viewer will see the particle, but only after it passes (think supersonic planes that cause sonic booms, only with light instead of sound). If the viewer is behind the particle, they won't see anything.

OT: I don't do physics, but I'm sure De4d3y3 answered your question there ^.^

Would there be a time lag if it's parallel?

Like, if it reaches point x, in your mind, it would only be point x-y, and y being a measurable number?

If you were looking at a side view of the particle, light would bounce off of it and you'd see it, but by the time that light got to your eyes the particle would have moved a considerable distance. You'd see the particle, but only where it was a moment ago.

So something similiar to the notion that when we look at the stars now, they're actually millions of years old?

TY, i just need some sort of answer to this Q our teacher set us since he got bored.
