Topic: Something Faster Than The Speed Of Light (Read 247 times)

If you think back to what you were taught in high school science class, you may recall learning that light always travels at a constant speed of 186,282 miles per second (mi/sec).

If you think back to what you were taught in high school science class, you may recall learning that light always travels at a constant speed of 186,282 miles per second (mi/sec). But modern physicists have come to a much different conclusion, observing that the speed of light may actually be somewhat variable depending on the physical conditions through which it’s traveling.

Back in 2013, researchers publishing two respective hypotheses in European Physics Journal D posited that the speed of light more than likely fluctuates depending on how elementary particles in space are interacting with radiation conditions at any given time.

Rather than exist as an empty vacuum, both papers essentially concluded, space is actually a very dynamic environment – which means that the light traveling through it is also inherently dynamic in terms of its velocity.

Marcel Urban from Paris-Sud University in France, the lead author of one of the studies, challenged the idea of the cosmic vacuum, also known as “empty space.” He found that the alleged vacuum that many assume exists in space is actually not a vacuum at all, and is filled with all sorts of fundamental particles, including quarks, or “virtual” particles.

These particles, which also exist alongside their anti-particle counterparts, are constantly appearing, colliding, and annihilating each other – in turn acting as obstacles and barriers to light as it travels through space.

“Urban and his colleagues propose that the energies of these particles – specifically the amount of charge they carry – affect the speed of light,” Live Science reported at the time. “Since the amount of energy a particle will have at the time a photon hits it will be essentially random, the effect on how fast photons move should vary, too.”

There is also the quantum entanglement phenomenon, where a pair of particles instantly affect each other no matter how far they are... A future communications device could come out of it, or perhaps computers with speeds able to break the limitations of current electronic/photonic technology.

Perhaps we have not yet discovered anything faster than light.
Maybe a fast neural net does not know that.
So far there is nothing faster than light.
The most important question is how we can take advantage of this speed

Imagination is faster than light. You can imagine that you are on Jupiter faster than light can get there.

Light os the official fastest energy we have,thoughts are not energy I think.

That is the electromagnetism in your brain to send signals to receivers, not your thought speed or imagination speed.

Thoughts only travel at 70-120 meters per second or 156-270 miles per hour.

Light travels 300,000,000 meters per second or 186,000 miles per hour.

Yes,our thoughts are the fastest things ever that's why we are called humans.

The speed of thought

Imagine you have a space ship and you have to go from earth to the sun and back to fuel your ship, in order for you to fly from earth and back it would take you 16 minutes and 40 seconds going light speed.
In my mind I can do it in less than a blink of a eye.
