The GPS system is a network of devices that communicate by radio. Radio signals
are electromagnetic radiation, just as light is, and they travel at the same speed
as light does.

How does speed light travel?
Light travels at 299,792,458 m/s as both a wave and a particle. Light demonstrates aspects of both. It does not require any sort of medium to travel.
Is time travel possible or not and elaborate on your answer?
There is many thoughts about time travel one theory is that if you travel faster than the speed of light you can see into the future and sort of 'jump' into the future and then travel one again faster than the speed of light to see into the past and then 'jump' back of course this is just a theory and has not been proven or said to be true and who knows the future seeing might take you to the wrong time so if your traveling back into the past you might go TOO far back to the past, no-one knows if this is true it has been tried but has been failed to go faster than the speed of light
Can light travel through the core of a fiber optic cable?
yes, the ability of light to travel through the cable is what makes it useful. There is not some sort of hole in the center of the cable, it is a solid glass cable.
Can the speed of light be ligislated?
Sort of. The meter is currently defined to be exactly the distance that light, in a vacuum, travels in 1 / 299,792,458 of a second. The result of this is that the speed of light is DEFINED to be a certain value (299,792,458 meters / second); the meter is derived from the speed of light. Of course, you can't legislate to make the speed of light in a vacuum faster or slower; or rather, if you do, light won't care about such legislation. The legislation only affects the numeric values assigned to such a speed.
Is it true that a scientist managed to get something to travel faster than the speed of light?
No material object can exceed the maximum speed of light, 299,792 km/second in a vacuum. However, energetic electrons can reach extraordinarily high speeds, and in water can go faster than (and overtake) light radiation, which is slowed to around 224,910 km/second.It is theoretically possible, however, that one could somehow change reference planes and cross a distance faster than the light does that remains in that reference plane. This would not be going faster than light, but merely taking a shortcut.
What did the theory of relativity do for science?
If anything, It gave a sort of "Universal speed limit" for all matter. That includes the "event wave" in front of a photon. Mathematically, nothing can travel faster than that.
What is the highest number for probability?
A probability of one is the highest, but this cannot be achieved a statistical population. It's sort of like the speed of light, it can only be approached but never reached.
A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge?
Sort of. A gamma ray is a photon, which is a particle/wave moving at the speed of light, because it is light.Photons are the gauge particles for the electromagnetic force, but they don't carry an electric charge themselves.
What is and Explicit?
it is the signal of something which can be something by being something that gives signal like some sort of phone??. yeah like that man, this is my letter to my crush...
Does type of fuels effect the speed of a vehicle?
sort of!
How does shutter speed control the amount of light entering a camera?
The Shutter Speed. If the shutter speed is positioned at 2000 you'll have a very quick exposure, this is best used if its very bright outside. If the shutter speed is at 75, you'll have a very long exposure, best used if its cloudy or dark.
How fast did trains travel in the 1870s?
The train in 1870'swith the speed of 85 miles per hour
