i’m in a physics rabbit hole, doing too many problems and now i’m wondering, how is light moving? why?
edit: thanks for all the replies! this stuff is fascinating to learn and think about
In: Physics
Think of light like Goku. Goku wears weighted clothes. Those clothes give him mass. When he takes off the clothes, he goes faster.
Light is the same way, but it took off every bit of mass, which makes it move at the fastest possible speed.
So the “speed of light” isn’t just the speed of light, but the fastest anything can possibly move in the universe without breaking fundamental physical laws.
The reason we will never reach the speed of light is because we have mass.
