Light-Speed

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
