eli5 how do we know nothing is faster than light?
In: 452
Based on all our observations of the universe, moving through space requires speed (no teleporting!). Even information must move through space. And that information moves at a certain speed which for historical reasons we call “the speed of light”. It’s also the speed of gravity and many other things. We believe nothing can move faster than this “speed of information”, because how would that even work?
