HOW FAST DOES LIGHT TRAVEL? If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. This is because the speed of light is as fast as 300,000 kilometres per second or 300,000,000 metres per second . The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles per second or 299,792 kilometers per second , and in theory nothing can travel faster than light. This is the cosmic speed limit, and the constant that stands for the speed of light in vacuum is known as 'c' or 'celeritas'. BUT CAN ANYTHING ELSE TRAVEL AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT? Quarks, leptons, neutrinos, and even dark matter all have masses as a property inherent to them. Objects made out of these particles, such as protons, atoms, and even human beings all have masses as well. As a result, they can approach, but never reach the speed of light in a vacuum. No matter how much energy you put into them, the speed of light, even in a vacuum, will forever be unattainable, and nothing...
