Thanks everybody for clarifying, I finally got it :)

I'll give this one last shot before I give up. I'm sorry but I didn't understand half of what you just said Dextercioby, thanks for trying though. Say that you are driving from New York to Los angeles´, it's 500miles bird route but since you have to follow the road it's 750 miles (I'm just...

Since light has a wave length it doesn't travel in a straight line. Hence I was wondering wether lightspeed is the definition of the time it takes for light to travel a vertical length or if the wave lengths are accounted for aswell. I'll try to make a picture..:) <--------->5m ^ ^...

What causes galaxies to speed up?

When Big Bang occurred everything was thrown in different directions at high speeds. Is this speed constant or are the speed at which galaxies travel slowing down? Since the general theory seems to be that Big Bang is a neverending procedure, galaxies should be slowed down by the gravity of...

I also want to know if light or anything for that matter has wave lenghts in vacuum.

Is lightspeed defining the speed of light in which it travels a vertical length? Can lightspeed be used to accurately decide how long it will take for light to travel 5 meters straight vertically? Considering that light has wave length that 'should' not be the case. Does this mean that...
