old grannies driving at 30mph on the freeway, me at infinity.
on edit: not everything travels at the speed limit, if the speed limit right now is the speed of light - then why doesn't everything travel at the speed of light?
People say if the speed limit was infinite that everything would happen instantaneously - but they still need to explain why everything should go at the speed limit in this other universe, when not everything goes at the speed limit in ours.
- lazide 2y agoAlmost everything (electrical fields, atomic radius, even speed of sound in materials) seems to derive in some way from the speed of light and related effects.

- bryanrasmussen 2y agoperhaps this is an effect of having a speed limit in a universe, if a universe does not have any set speed limit (which is somewhat different than the phrasing speed limit is infinite) perhaps the discussed derivation of other speeds would not exist in the way it does in our universe.
- lazide 2y agoAnything is possible if anything is possible. In this universe, fundamental forces like electromagnetism directly contain things like c, so if c is infinite, everything is going to work very differently.
