Eli5: Why does light travel so fast?
In: 130
Well, depending on your perspective on the universe, light actually travels really really slow.
It may seem fast to us, driving a car down the road and light is some unimaginably faster speed than we can go in a car, or even us flying. But the unverise is HUGE. Just our galaxy, the milky way is 52,000 light years across. Thats insane right, you thought light was fast, but just a tiny spec of the universe that is our galaxy would take light 52,000 years to traverse? Its slow as hell
