In the context of the speed of light, it really isn't.
- amadvance 9y agogreydius corrected me asserting that the factor between ligth speed and car speed is 10 millions, and not one million as I said. But in true there are production cars that pass 430 km/h, resulting in a factor of about 2.5 millions. A lot less than 10 millions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_car_speed_record https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_car_speed_record
- pixl97 9y agoYou should not compare the fastest car speed, but the average car speed, which for this argument would probably be closer to 200km/h. That puts it in a factor of 5 million, which is within one order of magnitude of the original guess.
