Maybe light’s insanely fast and space is just huge. It’s all relative ;)

- isolli 1y agoI would say they're two sides of the same coin. The time it takes for light to travel the universe (which makes communication even with nearby stars essentially impossible) is what makes the universe huge.
- neuroelectron 1y agoLuckily FTL communication isn't actually impossible and special relativity only applies to energy and mass.
- krapp 1y agoFTL communication is actually impossible, what are you talking about?
- jordigh 1y agoI can't tell if you're joking or if you know something nobody else does. As far as I know, anything going faster than the speed of causality violates causality. So what are you talking about?
- ClumsyPilot 1y ago> violates causality But we don’t know that casualty is a law of physics, do we?
- IAmBroom 1y agoOnly inasmuch as we don't know that gravity and the Strong Nuclear Force aren't.
- neuroelectron 1y agoDon't conflate causality and special relativity. SR breaks down at both ends of the spectrum, at the event horizon of black holes and in Bose Einstein condensates. That proves that it is an emergent property of observations, statistical behavior of decoherent systems, and not a universal law.
