Fun Science: Light

And a bit of sound too, thrown in for good measure.

A not-very-in-depth look into light, the speed of light, and some of my favourite facts surrounding the topic. From the perspective of a science fan... rather than a proper scientist.

True story-- my friend is studying abroad in England, is hanging out with your friend Tom and showed me some of his videos which lead me to your channel. In that degrees of separation Kevin Bacon game, we'd be really close. Two or three. I don't know how to properly calculate it.

Anyways, I realized I had seen your channel before when I saw this video. I watched it before my astronomy midterm earlier this year. I'm pretty sure I answered some questions correctly because of it. So thanks!

Correctly speaking, surpassing the speed of light is a questionable topic, theoretically speaking, matter moving at the speed of light should... well thats the thing, it would be unpredictable, there is a chance it could explode in the equivalence of mass nuclear bombs, it could velocitize such as in a sci fi show, where everything is fine, or it could just turn to goo, or time could start traveling backwards creating a dimensional paradox. I would go on to talk about abs 0K, but no space left

@achmed078 charlie proves that 'coolest nerd' is not an oxymoron!

hi charlie

I've got a question about light- if theoretically one moved at a speed of light whilst holding onto a torch, what would occur(theoretically) if you were to turn said torch on?

If anyone's got an answer to this, feel free to tell me~

"Now as I'm sure you're aware the speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s."

Oh yeah obviously...
