You always hear this phrase if you watch something about astrophysics ‘Nothing can move faster than light’. But speed is only relative. How can this be true if speed can only be experienced/measured relative to something else?
In: Physics
You can even think about it this way:
The “speed of light” is really just “THE speed.”
It’s the default speed of everything. It’s just that matter gets in the way and makes things slower. But when all those limitations like matter or external forces or whatever are eliminated, the speed of light (also just called “c” in equations) is the speed it would go.
