Undergrad Do Black Holes Work Like a Sucked-Out Fire?
This may sound very silly and a tad bit hard for me to explain, but here goes! I have experienced and seen how when a lit fire was covered with a container, the oxygen begins to dissipate and it begins to suck things into the space. (I did not light myself on fire!) So I was wondering if...- 98operate

Undergrad Can light travel faster than the speed of 300,000,000m/s?
Wow! Sorry for the late response my laptop had to be repaired. Thanks so much for the response though, especially GW Leibiniz for the more conceptual part and tiny-tim for the formula as well! So in the end I guess the speed of light 300,000km/s can't be surpassed. Was the twin paradox actually... -

Undergrad Can light travel faster than the speed of 300,000,000m/s?
Hello, I am just curious about this physics question. I understand the light can travel 300,000,000 m/s in vacuum but if air, water, or something else would interact with it light will move slower. Here are some questions Using the example when a boat is moving 40 m/s and a ball is shot...
