AI Thread Summary
The speed of light is a constant determined by fundamental physical properties of space and time, and it does not vary based on the rate at which the sun or other stars burn gases. While the intensity of light emitted by a star can be influenced by its burning rate, this does not alter the speed of light itself. The relationship between light speed and stellar burning rates is not supported by experimental evidence, which consistently shows light speed remains constant across the universe. Therefore, even if stars in other galaxies burn at different rates, their emitted light still travels at the same speed. The discussion concludes that light speed is independent of stellar combustion processes.

does lights speed relate to the suns rate of the gases burning. If yes then wouldn't that mean that stars in other
galaxies could have light or time rate at that much faster or slower than compared to ours. Just because that how
fast their sun is burning, and that's how fast their life is moving in time with their sun, light, energy. It would be
different than ours, but still related, just if we traveled there there would be a transfer in our energy or a change.

does lights speed relate to the suns rate of the gases burning.

No.

The speed of light depends on fundamental physical properties of space/time.
 
That's an easilt tested propostion Mikelus and the answer is a definite no, if it were such it would of got significantly different rersults in other experiments and the fact that the speed of light is constnat underpins or is a result of many key theories strectching back over 100 years.
 
the speed of light is a constant throughout the universe.

the speed at which the sun burns gases affects the intensity of the light that it emits, but it does not affect the speed at which the light travels.
