Undergrad Why Is Light Speed a Limit for Spacecraft?
aren't gamma ray burst moving MUCH faster than the speed of light, at least as it escapes the effect of a black hole ? i.e. nothing can escape a black hole, yet gamma ray bursts DO. The best explanation I have heard for the effects of a black hole is that it is eating space at a rate faster...- MYRYM

Undergrad How did light speed become the governor of relativity?
my point was that dark mater has mass and dark matter is all over the universe, so there is no such thing as a vacuum in nature. If the constant "C" is dependent on a vacuum and there is no such thing as a vacuum in space then how can we call it a constant? wouldn't all equations containing "C"...- MYRYM

Undergrad How did light speed become the governor of relativity?
Hi, I was just wondering if "in a vacuum" is an essential part of the constant, C. If Dark matter exists, doesn't this make a vacuum something that only exists in a laboratory, if anywhere at all? If there is no vacuum then there is no constant, if there is no constant ... or is "c" just a...- MYRYM
