I know what the speed of light is basically the speed limit of everything in the universe, and no information can travel faster than light itself. Light also exhibits many interesting properties and also serves as a constant for many formulae and equations in physics. The space-time continuum changes depending on what fraction of the speed of light at which you are travelling.
However, why light? Why is light and only light the one “phenomenon” that dictates most of physics? What makes light so special? My apologies if the question is phrased kind of strange.
In: Physics
Light(=photon) is massless (as of today), and it’s possibly the only fundamental particle that have this characteristic. I’d it’s what it makes light so special. That said, any fundamental particles are special.
