💡🌌 Light Has No Mass… So Why Is Its Speed Limited? | SLEEP SCIENCE STORIES
Light is massless, yet it travels at a fixed speed—299,792 km per second. But why can’t it go any faster? In this sleep science story, we’ll unravel one of physics’ greatest mysteries: why the universe has set a cosmic speed limit, even for something as weightless as light.
In this calming yet mind-bending journey, you’ll discover:
✨ How Einstein’s theory of relativity explains the speed of light
⚛️ Why light’s masslessness doesn’t mean infinite speed
🌌 How spacetime itself enforces this universal law
💫 What it means for time, causality, and the limits of the cosmos
Perfect for relaxing, unwinding, and drifting off to sleep, this story blends soothing narration with profound science, letting your mind travel at the speed of imagination.

Hello this is Victor from South Africa it's early hours of the morning 1 45. I love space and speed of light and the size of the universe.
Energy = mass
Easy…limited by permittivity and permeability of space.
BECAUSE EINSTEIN SAID SO

Massless particles are not affected by gravity. The space time curvy is none other than electromagnetic fields. Magnetohydrodynamics and fluid pressure equations are the only things that will conjure any sense. General relativity shortcuts fluid dynamics and generates infinities. Gravity is calculated incorrectly giving space a flat surface when in reality it isn't.
The speed of light is what it is because it couples perfectly with the speed at which time propagates throughout the universe. Time can be compressed which is exactly what mass does to it … Mass slows time down, the more mass an object has the more it slows time … Objects of mass naturally move toward areas of slower time and this is what we call gravity. Everything within our universe is some manifestation of time trying to reach a state of equilibrium. … Within the core of a black hole, it's so dense that Time comes to a stand still … meaniing there is no further evolution within and it's boundary is marked by the event horizon. Anything passing beyond the horizon firstly is phase transitioned into pure time and unmoving. You CAN have time with no space but you can not have space without TIME. Gradients of time is exactly what creates space. .. anyhow ..
