I'm reminded of Grace Hopper's famous nanoseconds lecture: https://youtu.be/gYqF6-h9Cvg?t=78 https://youtu.be/gYqF6-h9Cvg?t=78

  Oh, I haven't watched that before.

  1 ns * c = 1 ft, to put in perspective: 7 μs * c is 1.3 miles. (Protip: just type "7 μs * c in miles" into Google)

    7 μs is also the time it takes light to travel about 1,400 Ariana Grandes.

      In which direction? Presumably side to side?
      • jjk166 1y ago
        Due to relativity the length of Ariana Grande will appear to change such that all observers agree on the same speed of light.
