“universitytoday.com” says it takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light from the sun to reach the Earth/
93,000,000: miles distance
186,411: miles per second / speed of light
499: seconds (miles divided by speed of light per second)
8: minutes=seconds divided by 60
If the sun stopped it would take 8 minutes and 20 seconds for earth to experience it.
Doesn’t that make light-speed relative to time?
Reversing the process
