The speed of light is more of a hot topic than ever nowadays. It is the speed at which photons travel in a vacuum- and is the fastest speed achievable within the universe. As creatures of exploration and innovation, understanding light speed has naturally led us on a quest to try and determine a method with which we can reach it, and eventually one day exceed it. Si-Fi fantasy or not, a galaxy of the Milky Way’s vastness would require such speeds to make exploring it somewhat of a possibility for a race such as humanity’s. But there are some drawbacks. The difficulty of developing light speed travel, or propulsion systems that could travel at a high percentage of it, is enormous- and may be impossible altogether. Furthermore, our current understanding of physics suggests that were you to travel at this immense speed, you would be making more of a sacrifice than you first anticipate, as light and time go hand in hand at the limit of possibility. Nonetheless, we are investing, investigating and innovating, and examining the skies and the stars, as we search for a way to travel at the ultimate speed of light… FOLLOW MY NEW TWITTER! https://twitter.com/SEA_yt_ Want more videos?
