Is there something similar to the sound barrier at the speed of light?
Author: admin Category: 5Were it possible to go faster than light-speed would you ride the crest of some kind of wave similar to that experienced at the sound barrier?
Well, the universe is expanding in which the velocity of 2 objects is proportional to Hubble’s Constant and the distance between the 2 objects. That means that things a certain distance from us are receding from us faster than light and their light will never reach us. Therefore, since light travels in all directions we can say that there is a light barrier in our universe. We call this Hubble’s radius or the visible universe.
