    This is our freaky friend, the Hubble Constant, the idea that for every megaparsec of distance between us and a distant galaxy, the speed separating them increases by about 71 kilometers per ...

  5. Through the Universe at the Speed of Light

    Imagine taking a trip at the speed of light. The "ultimate speed limit" according to Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity; c = 186,000 miles/sec = 300,000 km/s = 3 x 10 10 cm/s (= 1 light-year/year). The effects of Special Relativity will have a profound effect upon space travel. Because mass increases as one's velocity approaches c, travel ...

  6. Physics Explained: Here's Why The Speed of Light Is The ...

    Today the speed of light, or c as it's commonly known, is considered the cornerstone of special relativity - unlike space and time, the speed of light is constant, independent of the observer. What's more, this constant underpins much of what we understand about the Universe. It matches the speed of a gravitational wave, and yes, it's the ...

  7. Speed of light: How fast light travels, explained simply and clearly

    The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second and that constant tells us much about cause and effect in the universe. ... at the speed of light, but as light passes through a medium those ...

  8. A Journey of Light through Space and Time

    Transcript. Just 370,000 years after the universe began in a big bang, all that existed was a hot plasma, similar to a candle flame. Protons and electrons, seen as the red and green balls, were bouncing around scattering the light. The particles of light, called photons (shown in blue), couldn't go far without colliding with an electron.

  9. Riding Light: Tour the solar system at light speed

    Our solar system is big. Light, the fastest-moving stuff in the universe at 186,000 miles per second (300,000 km per second) takes over half an hour to travel to Jupiter, the 5th planet out from ...

  10. Interstellar travel

    Interstellar travel is the hypothetical travel of spacecraft from one star system, solitary star, or planetary system to another. Interstellar travel is expected to prove much more difficult than interplanetary spaceflight due to the vast difference in the scale of the involved distances. Whereas the distance between any two planets in the Solar System is less than 55 astronomical units (AU ...

  11. Observable universe

    The light-travel distance to the edge of the observable universe is the age of the universe times the speed of light, 13.8 billion light years. This is the distance that a photon emitted shortly after the Big Bang, such as one from the cosmic microwave background , has traveled to reach observers on Earth.

  12. Was the Speed of Light Even Faster in the Early Universe?

    Anyone who took Physics 101 has had this fact drilled into their head: The speed of light is a constant, traveling at 186,000 miles per second. In fact, it's the cornerstone of much of modern ...

  14. Three Ways to Travel at (Nearly) the Speed of Light

    1) Electromagnetic Fields. Most of the processes that accelerate particles to relativistic speeds work with electromagnetic fields — the same force that keeps magnets on your fridge. The two components, electric and magnetic fields, like two sides of the same coin, work together to whisk particles at relativistic speeds throughout the universe.

  15. How fast does light travel?

    The speed of light traveling through a vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 meters (983,571,056 feet) per second. ... Related: Why the universe is all history. Speed of light FAQs answered by an expert.

  17. What Is the Speed of Light? The Speed Limit of the Universe, Explained

    The speed of light, sometimes abbreviated as c, is a universal maximum posted speed that causality will enforce. It's the greatest speed at which any known substance or object can travel. Even ...

  18. The Universe: A Walk Through Space and Time

    To commemorate your journey through the universe, send yourself an e-postcard that travels at the speed of light from Neptune, the Orion Nebula, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Coma Cluster of galaxies. You'll have to wait about 2.5 million years for your postcard to arrive from Andromeda, but only four hours to receive your greetings from Neptune.

  19. At The Speed Of Light, Could We Reach The Edge Of The Universe?

    Having this universal constant has allowed us to learn countless things about the cosmos, and is also the basis of the term "light-year", which is the distance that light travels through a vacuum in one Julian year. The "speed of light" is approximately 300,000,000 meters per second (roughly 186,000 miles per second).
