That doesn't mean that light (causality) couldn't be faster, right? You could increase the speed of light (causality) as much as you want and wouldn't run into

That doesn't mean that light (causality) couldn't be faster, right? You could increase the speed of light (causality) as much as you want and wouldn't run into any paradox.
- gavmor 2y agoWhat does it mean to increase the speed of causality? This seems like asserting that we can add as many tick marks to the axis as we like, since the only universal unit of measurement is a velocity's percentage of C. If we imagine something going faster than the speed of causality, we're simply misconcieving the properties of space.
- MattPalmer1086 2y agoRight. The speed limit itself is arbitrary.
- coldtea 2y agoMainly in the sense that you can create an amp that goes to 11.
- layer8 2y agoWith respect to what, though? One light-second would still be one light-second. The sizes of atoms and elementary particles probably also are a function of that. (We don’t know that, but it seems plausible.)
