  • where is the original documentary of this video?? Can someone tell me please?

  • i went 186,000.0000000000000000000000­0000000000000000001 miles a second light travels at 186,000.0000000000000000000000­00000000000000000002 miles a second. DAMN!

  • where is the rest of it? i want to see more

  • @WizzardWorrier the speed limit of the universe is 186k miles p/s

    remember the faster you go near the speed limit, the slower time gets.

    If you do not understand why it is a basic law.

    Think of it like a game, the system knows you are going faster near the limit so instead of physically slowing you down it slows down time for you,

    You cannot notice it, because time is still moving regular for you "as it seems"

    But if you could see earth everyone will be zooming incredibly fast.

  • @WizzardWorrier wow, how old are you?

    its already proven , there are hundreds of satalites in space, all of them go faster in time 3 microns every 24 hours, because they are traveling at high speeds.

    The faster you go the slower time goes for you,

    this means you will go faster in time, in comparison to a stationary object.

    This means if you go at 98% light speed, and you on earth could somehow magically see me, I would literally look like im frozen to you, moving ever so slightly.

  • 1:30 penguins look behind you!

  • The barrier at the speed of light is the information you radiate(Photon's and radiowaves, the full sprectrum) are colliding with the information you are receiving. thus creating the Bow wave event.

  • There is something slightly wroung . Traveling at the speed of light dose not alter TIME. It is only the information you receive that is altered.

  • and if it derails?
