Let's say that you can accomplish a complete blink in one hundredth (0.01) of a second.
In that amount of time, a beam of light could travel . . .
-- from New York City to Albuquerque, New Mexico,
-- or from Los Angeles to Grand Rapids, Michigan
-- or from London to Rome and back to London
-- or from Jerusalem to Berlin
-- or from Miami to Disney World and back to Miami, almost five times.

The answer to this question is easy. Light of course duh.

∙ 10y agoNo. Nothing is faster than the speed of light. "The twinkling of an eye" does not refer to any definite unit of measure, but rather means that something ocurred essentially instantaneously.

Why was light from the rocket seen before the sound of rocket was heard?
Because light travels significantly faster than sound. Speed of light (in vacuum) = 299 792 458 m/s Speed of Sound (at sea-level ) = 340.29 m/s
Why do you see lightning before you hear the thunder it makes?
Because the speed of light in air is faster than the speed of sound, therefore light comes before sound.
Which of these two is faster is it lightning or thunder?
The lightning. The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. In addition, lightning creates thunder, therefore it happens first, therefore must be faster. See the related link for more information.
What is the highest speed that can be observed in nature?
The speed of light in a vacuum. Einstein called it "the cosmic speed limit". Nothing, as we understand physics right now, can move faster.
A person will see a flash of lightning before they hear the thunder that goes with it because?
Speed of light travels faster than speed of sound
The first person to fly faster than the speed of light was?
No human has flown faster than the speed of light, as it is currently considered impossible based on our understanding of physics. The speed of light, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, is the cosmic speed limit according to the theory of relativity.
What is faster Speed of Light or Speed of Eyesight?
The speed of light.
Do you go back in time if you blink faster than the speed of light?
I'm thinking that this is easy to test and find out.When you blink, the only part of you that moves is your eyelid. The rest of you stays still.So if you move your eyelid faster than the speed of light and it goes back in time,then your eyelid would disappear, because the rest of you would stay here in thepresent time.You could try it any time, wherever you are, and see what happens.But how fast would you have to blink ?If your eyelid moves a whole inch during a blink, then in order to move at the speedof light, you'd have to move it fast enough to blink 11,802,827,520 times in one second.That's about 590 thousand times faster than that high squeal you hear froma mosquito's wings.Do you think you can do that ? Good luck on your experiment.
What is faster speed of light or speed of night?
Light.
What travels faster car or light?
The speed of light is faster than the highest speed of a car.
What is faster mind or light?
The speed of knowledge/information travels faster than the speed of light.
Conconde flies faster than the speed of light?
No. The Concorde flew faster than the speed of sound. Nothing can move faster than the speed of light.
Are there any galaxies that have travelled faster than the speed of light?
Travelling faster than the speed of light is not possible, therefore no galaxies have travelled or are travelling faster than the speed of light.
Can information travel faster than the speed of light?
According to the Theory of Relativity, nothing can go faster than the speed of light. And since light is information, it cannot go faster than the speed of light.
Which is faster and why speed or light?
Light is faster because speed does not move. Speed is a measure of the rate of movement but, in itself, it does not move - at all!
Is the eye faster than light?
The eye moves at the same speed the human moves.The eye also receives information atthe speed of light. What you "see" is what your eye receives as information transmitted in the form of "visible light" deciphered by your brain into an image.So no, your eye does not move nor "sees" faster than the speed of light
Is the flash as fast as the speed of light?
NO.... the speed of light is always faster. =)
