It’s like the FPS of the universe. Nothing can be rendered faster than that.

Light happens to go at that speed limit. So does other things, like gravity. It’s the speed limit for all things, effects, and information.

So maybe you know that light from the Sun takes 8.3 minutes to get to Earth, right? Well so does the Sun’s gravity. That is to say, if the Sun stopped existing, we would continue to orbit *where it was* for 8.3 minutes, until both its light and its gravitational pull on us both stopped and we’d fly away in darkness in a straight line.
