I mean, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light - and as things approach the speed of light, they get big and time slows down etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 The speed of light is like some kind of natural limit to the universe. Only light can travel that fast, but not faster. I wondered if any realised person could throw some light on this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light is the fastest of anything *measurable*. What are we measuring with? Light. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
