Is my previous post correct??? Or does the light disappear immediately when it goes away no matter the distance???

All I know is that whoever got the bright idea to stop using sewn in tags for t-shirts has obviously never had to get dressed in the dark.

Here’s the thing...If you look up into the night sky, that faraway star you are seeing the light of may not even be a star anymore...it won’t be where you are looking anyway...If the star is 1,000,000 light years away, that light you are seeing is 1,000,000 years old...
When I read that I started to cry...it's so profound...

If you are traveling the speed of light in your car and turn on the headlights, do they light up anything? ;-)I don't know, but I do know that the speed of light is even faster than my kids opening the refrigerator door...

If you figure it out....is this a way to tax it?
If everyone traveled light, there would be no need for the TSA lines

Dark Helmet says it can be exceeded by ludicrous speed.

"If you are traveling the speed of light in your car and turn on the headlights, do they light up anything?"Only if you tap the brakes.

It is. The speed of light, though swift for us, is no match for the vastness of space. Even our own galaxy, which is something like 100,000 light years across, the light starting out from the opposite rim when Christ was born would be only 1/50th of the way across by now. And that’s just in the local neighborhood. Imagine what it is like between galaxies.

With a background in electromagnetism, I agree with the ‘both - particle and wave - and with no mass ‘club’.
Electromagnetism uses ‘speed of light = C’ in many of its various formulae, including signal propagation and reception for communications and object tracking.
