The Speed of Light: Can We Go Faster?

Posted on January 19, 2020 by alexsolarsystem

The speed of light in a vacuum is around 300,000,000 meters per second (for those more accustomed to freedom units, that’s 186,282 miles per second). Thanks to Albert Einstein and many other prominent scientists, we believe that only massless particles like photons are able to achieve this speed.
