Theory of Relativity: Simplified

The Speed of Light: The Ultimate Cosmic Speed Limit


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore one of the most mind-bending aspects of Einstein’s theory: the speed of light and its role as the ultimate speed limit of the universe. Why is the speed of light so important in both special and general relativity? We’ll break down the idea that light always travels at the same speed—regardless of how fast you’re moving—and what this means for time, space, and reality itself. You’ll also learn how the constant speed of light led to groundbreaking conclusions about time dilation and length contraction. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why nothing in the universe can exceed this cosmic speed limit and how it fundamentally connects to Einstein’s theories
