: The light travelling at c = 299,792,458 m/s is ridiculous
: slow. How can such a ridiculous small speed be
: the maximal speed in the universe?. In our universe, there
: are titanic forces capable of ejecting matter at superluminal
: speeds (i.e. supernova explosions). Astrophysicists see our
: universe is expanding in an accelerating manner, because they
: assume the speed of light is that ridiculous small quantity
: along with the wrong fact of its invariance.
:
: We can compare that ridiculous small speed of light with other
: speeds to grasp its insignificance. For example, can anybody tell
: me how much time does gravity take to travel from the Moon to the
: Earth?. In the solar system the speed of gravity is many orders of
: magnitude higher that the speed of light in a vacuum!!. That fact
: misled Newton to claim gravity travels at infinite speed, but now we
: know that the speed of gravity in the solar system is a finite speed,
: although pretty higher than speed of light.
