What about lightspeed makes it related to time. Why would really dense things distort time?
In: Physics
The speed of light in a vacuum is special because nothing can be faster. It’s basically the speed at wich “now” propagates through space.
We don’t really know the “why” and physics doesn’t really try to answer that question, it’s more philosophical.
We only know that if it was different the laws of electromagnetism we observed would be inconsistent.
