We all know that the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. That must be why some people appear to be bright, until they speak.

I loved seeing that for the first time, in the Charles Cinema, West End, Boston, in 1977.
Before CGI...(sigh) The Good Old days.

Screenshots from an episode of The Mechanical Universe and Beyond...
Divide the electric force constant (K sub e) by the magnetic force constant (K sub m),...
...and you get the square of a speed (m=meters, s=seconds). ...but what speed?
...taking the square root, we get...
The speed of light! This I believe was Maxwell's first clue that light was somehow related to electricty and magnetism.

The speed of dark must be at least a little faster than the speed of light, because the dark can never been seen leaving the room when I switch on the lights.

It made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.

It must be true that the higher you are the faster
the speed of sound, cause when I’m high every thing
sounds funny, Heheheheeeeeeee.

You’re in luck! (anyone who is interested in this stuff)
I found the Mechanical Universe and Beyond episode on Maxwell! (28min)
39. Maxwell’s Equations:
Maxwell discovers that displacement current produces electromagnetic waves or light.

Related episodes of the series here:
39. Maxwell’s Equations
Maxwell discovers that displacement current produces electromagnetic waves or light.
41. The Michelson-Morley Experiment
In 1887, an exquisitely designed measurement of the earth’s motion through the ether results in the most brilliant failure in scientific history.
VOD42. The Lorentz Transformation
If the speed of light is to be the same for all observers, then the length of a meter stick, or the rate of a ticking clock, depends on who measures it.
VOD43. Velocity and Time
Einstein is motivated to perfect the central ideas of physics, resulting in a new understanding of the meaning of space and time.
VOD44. Mass, Momentum, Energy
The new meaning of space and time make it necessary to formulate a new mechanics.
