Every massless "thing" travels at the speed of ##c##. That's pretty well understood.

Good Good, why? is almost like is not traveling in space but in something else, but i know that it is in space, because it can get distorted by gravity

I'm not trying to prove it yet, I'm just trying to understand it better, I'm only a teenager who wants to study physics in a soon future, and you guys are the experts, but i need to give my best being this dumb to understand at least a bit

You can't do that by personal speculation based on incorrect beliefs, or by throwing out further questions when you haven't even understood the answers to the previous ones. And you certainly can't by refusing to listen to what people who are much more knowledgeable than you are telling you.
