    • What would happen if we ever find out the mysterious particle tachyon?Could we have to make some new rule of relativity for tachyons? will its speed be also some other constant like the speed of light ?Or, will it have some acceleration?

    • I’m still wrestling with the closure rate of a light beam fired by “George” while “Gracie” is moving toward George’s position. The closure rate of the light sent by George is actually faster than light if I understand you’re discussion earlier.

      • If you understand this video then you must have come to the conclusion that “Speed of light is relative to anything”. Means the speed of light will be the same until or unless it will encounter with more than this speed. So far humans came to only 2/10000 of speed in today’s world means we still a long way to go. Light is so fast that even if you are moving at 200 Miles per hour the speed of light remains the same.

    • Isn’t it possible that the medium that allow light to move could be dark matter?

    • Absolutely magnificent video. I believe there will be a day where we fill find an equation the redefines everything. This theory will dissolve some considerable fundamental constituents, and expand on more contemporary hypothesis and completely redesign reality as we imagine it. Once the boundaries are dissolved and a semi-quantifiable representation of infinity could be injected into mathematics, then we will see the sunset and rise at the speed of thought. If light is the fastest quantifiable measurement we have made, we have to take a look a little deeper. Mai i’loko Mai.

    • No. The question implies that light needs a medium. It does not. Light travels just fine in a vacuum.

    • It is a funny thing to hear that space is not really a vacuum – dark energy theories support that space is not a vacuum. If the dark matter is the medium, as a glue in individual galaxies, there is a medium light travels through.

      The speed of light is on a scale beyond comprehension.

    • nice lesson
