    Let's assume that if the speed of light in the universe is infinite in an instant, then all the photons in flight will reach their destination (the place where they are absorbed) in the first place. Assuming that all matter no longer emits photons, all flying photons may have another cosmic lifetime to complete this flight mission, and now the flying photons are all converted into other forms of energy in an instant, and this power is also close to infinity, I am afraid that most of the stars in the universe will be blasted away, and then all the high-energy particles that were originally bound by the theory of relativity also go straight to their destination, and it is another round of bombardment, and finally all stars explode, neutron stars explode, quark stars explode, and black holes explode (Schwarzschild radius is almost 0)** The matter also rushed through the entire universe at an infinite speed, so the universe was like another big **, and there was nothing left. So the speed of light is infinite, no wonder aliens want to reduce the speed of light.

    The speed of light is related to vacuum permissibility and vacuum permeability, and there may not be magnetism in that world. The fine structure constant becomes 0. Nuclear reactions will not decay in mass, or will emit infinite amounts of energy, in the case of the former, the relative atomic masses may be integers.

    The annihilation of positive and antimatter will release an infinite amount of energy. All relativistic effects will not exist. Gravitational pull will not cause space-time to bend.

    There is absolute time and space. Light does not undergo the Doppler effect. The wavelength becomes infinite, then the light can bypass any obstacle.

    The light of any planet will reach our eyes in an instant.

    I think that the speed of light in the universe is infinite, so in the great moment of the universe, all matter will run to a position at an infinite distance. As soon as the universe was created, it was torn apart.

    Let me talk about it in general. For the universe to exist, the speed of light must be finite. If the speed of light were infinite, anything with mass would not exist at all.

    Because according to e=mc2, an infinite amount of energy is required to create mass. There will only be massless particles in the entire universe (there are currently three known types: photons, gluons, and gravitons).

    If the speed of light is infinite, distance and time become meaningless concepts, because any part of the universe can interact with each other instantaneously, no matter how far apart, and the beginning and end of any event are done at the same time. Do you think it's a universe?

    All classical theories degenerate into Newtonian mechanics, and electricity can be described only by Coulomb's law. There is no theory of relativity, no magnetic field, no electromagnetic waves, and no radiation. Even if you go deep into the microscopic realm, the Schrödinger equation is enough to describe everything, and there is no need for relativistic quantum mechanical equations, quantum field theory, and no quantum gravity, unified field theory.

    All theories reach a complete harmony.

    Because the energy given to the universe by the big ** is uniform, that is to say, no matter where the universe is, it has the same energy as the infinite velocity at the edge of the universe. Just like a rubber band with a fixed end that is constantly being stretched, the stress at each point on the rubber band is the same in the process of being stretched, but the speed of any point on the rubber band will not exceed the speed of the stretched end. Even if the velocity of this endpoint is infinite, you can always find a point on the rubber band with a velocity of 300,000 (kilometers per second) of infinity.

    On the romantic side, because the universe is a finite, boundless, single-connected three-dimensional manifold with no boundaries, the light emitted by any light source will return to itself, so when I look up at the starry sky, I may see the American continent across the ocean. The night sky will be much brighter than it is now, and we may be able to see the sun at night. It is said that classical mechanics is self-correct, but classical electromagnetism is not, but I still look forward to a classical world, because those non-classical theories are too difficult to learn.

    Why does the universe limit its maximum speed to the speed of light? Human beings' understanding of speed is not achieved overnight, but many scientists have approached the truth step by step after long-term thinking and research. In ancient Greece, when human beings first began to think systematically about natural problems, many natural philosophers, represented by Aristotle, believed that objects were in an absolute state of rest and were not affected by external forces.

    A moving object also has an absolute velocity.

    That is, if you have an iron ball in front of you, it is absolutely stationary, and unless you push it with your hand, its rolling speed is the same for everyone, and if it is 10 meters per second for you, it is also 10 meters per second for everyone. This wysiwyg is the simplest and crudest way to understand it, but it is obviously impossible for a human being to be so easily with his pathetic sense organs"See"The truth of the universe. The biggest flaw of this kind of thinking is that it ignores the speed of the observer itself, which is what we now call it"References"or"Frame of reference"。

    The frame of reference is a concise and great subjective assumption! If Aristotle were standing on an island and looking at a ship slowly passing by in the distance, and you asked him whether the man sitting in the cabin was stationary or moving, I think he would have said that. And now we know that anything that is placed at rest on a ship is stationary with respect to the ship itself, that is, the velocity is zero; But relative to the distant islands, they are no longer stationary, but move at the same speed and direction as the ship, and this speed is greater than zero.

    This phenomenon is a good example of how unreliable it is to use our senses to define the state of motion of objects. Only by breaking through intuition and adopting a more modestly scientific approach can we truly understand the velocity of an object – that is, by introducing the concept of a frame of reference and making an objective understanding of the velocity. In other words, the definition of velocity cannot be separated from the frame of reference, otherwise it will lose its physical meaning once it is returned to the mold; At the same time, everything in the world can be used as a frame of reference to define the speed of things.

    The speed of light in a vacuum is the maximum speed of motion of an object in nature that has been discovered so far.

    The speed of light refers to the speed at which light waves or electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum or medium. It is independent of the speed of the observer relative to the light source, i.e. the speed of light measured in the inertial frame relative to the stationary and moving light source is the same. The mass of the object will increase with the increase in velocity, and when the speed of the object is close to the speed of light, its mass will tend to infinity, so it is impossible for an object with mass to reach the speed of light.

    Only photons with zero rest mass are always moving at the speed of light. The speed of light is superimposed on any speed, and the result is still the speed of light. The synthesis of velocity does not follow the laws of classical mechanics, but follows the relativistic laws of velocity synthesis.

    In the theory of optomechanics, photons are free electrons, and light is a phenomenon caused by the light source changing the movement of free electrons, and the expansion force of the light source is transmitted between the free electrons.

    Time is divided into object motion time and lag motion time, and when non-rigid objects transmit interactions, different lag motion occurs. The ratio of the distance of movement to time shows the velocity of motion, and the ratio of the length of the lag motion to the lag motion time is the force transfer velocity.

    Before the overall motion of the electrons, due to the drag effect, there are different simultaneous movements in the direction of motion, and the start time of the motion lags behind in turn, and the speed of motion decreases. The speed of light c is just the length of the electron moving in the same direction per unit time, and the two velocities that are different from the velocity v of the particle.

    The volume expansion of the light source changes the space pressure, and light is also a process of space pressure change.

    The resistance experienced by the electron motion f=mvc l.

    Have you ever heard of the tachyon universe? In the tachyon universe, the masses of all objects are imaginary numbers, while the velocities are faster than the speed of light. In the slow-on universe (i.e., the universe we live in now), all objects are moving at a speed lower than the speed of light and have a non-negative mass (which can be 0).

    And the only way to leave the tachyon universe and enter the tachyon universe is to break the light barrier, that is, the speed exceeds the speed of light. So in the tachyon universe, the maximum velocity is not the speed of light, whereas in the tachyon universe, the speed of all objects is lower than the speed of light. Whereas, electromagnetic waves belong neither to the slow-on universe nor to the tachyon universe, but to the boundary between the two universes.

    So your problem is unsolvable in the universe we live in now, and in the tachyon universe, it is all matter with a speed greater than the speed of light.

    The speed of light is the maximum speed in the universe, and there is not so much energy to exceed the speed of light.

  13. Anonymous users2024-01-27

    Philosophical theories tell us that everything is relative and there are no absolutes, so it is certainly wrong to say that the speed of light is the maximum. It's just that according to the current theoretical system, the speed of light is the maximum. Only bigger and not the largest. ok?

    No! In recent years, NASA has observed that the speed of a quasar is 2.8 million kilometers per second, and the subsequent observation of several quasars is also about 2 million kilometers per second, and the farthest quasar is about 20 billion light years away from us, and the universe is only 15 billion years from its birth, according to the speed of light, it should only be 15 billion light years! So the speed of the quasar is more than c!

    And we know why there is no way to exceed C in our world, because the time around us is faster than us, and the speed of light is proportional to time, and 300,000 kilometers per second is insurmountable, once it reaches 300,000 kilometers per second, time will stop, which is impossible in our three-dimensional space! It can only be in four-dimensional space, and the only one that can have this speed is quasars. Everything is not absolute, c is a constant, but it is by no means the maximum speed of the object.

    The skyrocketing hypothesis holds that the universe experienced faster-than-light skyrockets in the very early days.

    Starts at 10 36 seconds after the big ** and lasts between 10 33 and 10 32. Driven by the vacuum energy of negative pressure, the universe expanded by at least 10 78 during this period, well above the speed of light.

    In addition, the speed at which the universe expands is not fixed relative to the Earth, and the latest correction of the Hubble constant is that the speed of the universe expanding is about 68 kilometers per second per million parsecs (3.26 million light-years).

    Because the expansion of the universe is the expansion of the whole space, just like blowing up a balloon, if the earth is a point on the balloon, then the other points must be closer to each other in the process of blowing up the balloon, the slower the speed of moving away, and the farther away, the faster the speed of moving away.

    According to the Hubble constant, if you are 3.26 million light-years away from the Earth, the speed of the universe is 68 kilometers per second because of the expansion of the universe, then if you are 3260 light-years away from the Earth (10 million parsecs), the speed of the universe is 680 kilometers per second.

    By analogy, you'll find that 14.3 billion light-years away from Earth, the universe will expand and move away from Earth at the speed of light – which is exactly the time it takes for the light from the birth of the universe to reach Earth.

    Since the speed of light is the limit of the speed of the universe, why is the expansion rate of the universe greater than the speed of light?

  17. Anonymous users2024-01-23

    The average rate of expansion of the universe is about times the speed of light.

There is still no limit to what we can do now.

And if the speed of light is the maximum speed in the universe, even if we reach the point where technology can travel at the speed of light in the future, it will still be out of reach to explore the whole universe. Because in fact, the speed of light is too slow (if you think about it, you will feel really slow, as slow as a turtle crawling), maybe the civilization of our solar system will not be able to detect the end of the universe until it is destroyed, and it will not even be able to establish contact with the civilization that can detect the end of the universe. >>>More
