The speed of light is often cited as the fastest anything can travel in our universe. While this might be true, the speed of light is the EFFECT and not the CAUSE of this phenomenon. So what’s the cause? On this week’s episode of Space Time, Matt helps explain what the speed of light REALLY is and why it’s the cosmic speed limit of our universe!

  1. So why is it proposed that the universe expanded faster than the speed of light in the beginning? How or why does that happen?

  2. If time slows down at the speed of light, does it mean the light from the big bang has , from the lights own perspective, come to this point in time instantaniously? And that same light will be at the complete end of the universe in basically a blink of an eye

  3. STARTING FROM ZERO TO THE HIGHEST SPEED… GOING SO FAST THAT IT WILL STOP.. STARTING AGAIN FROM ZERO SPEED TO THE HIGHEST SPEED GOING SO FAST THAT IT STOPS.. STARTING AGAIN FROM ZERO SPEED… ETC ETC ETC… LOOP LOOP LOOP… GR KARMA

  4. Now that the speed of light is being manipulated all of the sudden the speed of light doesn’t have anything to do with light. It is a way for scientists to try desperately to save all theories that are built off a constant that isn’t a constant at all.

  5. c is maximum processing speed of the computer that running this universe simulation.

    welcome to the matrix

  6. I discovered what's faster than light: poop.
    The other day I had to poo so bad, I didn't have time switch the light in the toilet it came out.
    Poo is way faster than light.
