Very less peoples are aware of fact that speed of light is highest velocity that any particle posses in the universe. No other object can match the velocity of light. This is albert einstins theory.
This theory shows the advanced capability of human brain. Imagine earth to be bored along its diameter. Diameter of earth is 12800 km. Speed of light is 300000km per second! Means if we passed the light through the hole which is along the diameter then within fraction of seconds light beam will be come out from other end of earth! With the help of these figures i came to conclusion that 23 earths should be placed side by site. Means if we placed 23 earths(bored through diameter) side by side so that light beam can pass through hole then within 1 second it will cross 23 earths and will come out from other end of last earth! Isn't it amazing. Do post comments

So true, the speed of light is FAST. I can't imagine something that fast. And technically you can travel in time by traveling faster than light, which means you will be two places at the same time!
But the thought experiment about the earth shows how fast the light really is! It's simply incredible!

Yes time travel can be faster than light speed but for that we have to go through worm hole. Worm hole is smaller than atom. Worm hole is present in photons means light particles. But if we enlarged that worm hole then we can travel anywhere with velocity greater than light. But now a days time travel through worm is considered as illusion, paradox. But one day we will do it!

hi yogesh thats simply fascinating that light did that in one second.
wow thats incredible.Also you are pretty darned good in the
math and physics too. I envy Albert Einstein his remarkable
intelligence. he was really amazing himself.
