I Know Lots of Useless Information

How "Fast" is the Speed of Light?

Light travels at a constant, finite speed of 186,000 mi/sec. A traveler, moving at the speed of light, would circum-navigate the equator approximately 7.5 times in one second.

There once was a lady named Bright
Who could travel much faster than light
She left home one day in a relative way
And returned home the previous night.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

No one knows. It might be important some day. 😝

emjaymj · 31-35, M

Its not good to be fast in everythin'

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

And other times you want it even faster.

emjaymj · 31-35, M

@SimplyTracie: You're okay to go fast. But fast of us men is not a good thing.

Here's a good one:

If you stayed immovable in one location for 1 second
how far away from your starting location would you be?
(This assumes ALL movement of the Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, and Universe)

@MalteseFalconPunch: 140 to 160 miles is the range I remember,

It's actually not true, but, it is for the most part. The speed of light can be slowed.
