The Street Where We Live

We live on 299792458 Meters Per Second Street. If we were allowed to cross the road, we would find ourselves in an entirely different neighborhood.

The speed of light is the asymptote that defines the border of our physical reality. Change the velocity of light and you change the relationship of mass and energy, altering the symmetry of time and space.

There is no limit on the velocity of light, but the speed of light is the limit of our physical reality. Infinite gradations of velocity are possible, and each change in speed changes the playing field of reality.

The entire infinite spectrum of differing velocities exists here and now. We only see the reality defined by our address at 299792458 Meters Per Second Street.
