light speed

Examples of speed of light

speed of light
If intelligent life is rare, the speedoflight barrier will prevent life from using up the resources too fast.
How could you convey a notion such as "the speedoflight is 186,000 miles per second," without language?
Moreover, both the principle of relativity and the constancy of the speedoflight are connected with fundamental symmetry considerations.
This limit is imposed by the speedoflight barrier modified by the universal acceleration.
Each member of this hierarchy is a hyperbolic system that has a flux limited by the speedoflight and which dissipates entropy locally.
Thanks to the finite speedoflight, it is still possible to look into the night sky and see stars that burned out years ago.
The further analysis is restricted to a correct relativistic particle distribution, which is vanishing for particle speeds greater than the speedoflight.
Then, we have restricted the analysis to an appropriate relativistic particle distribution that is vanishing for particle speeds greater than the speedoflight.
The linear wakefield response of a plasma induced by a test charge moving at the speedoflight c can be calculated as follows.
Only in the strictly unphysical formal limit of an infinitely large speedoflight c do the covariant forms reduce to the standard expressions.
Decreasing the source frequency, both the phase and group velocities monotonically approach the speedoflight.
He was then able to generalize the relativity principle of mechanics and to formulate the hypothesis of the constancy of the speedoflight.
Here 0 = 2/0 = /c denotes the free-space wavenumber, where c is the speedoflight in free space.
In a homogeneous plasma these solitons have a propagation velocity much smaller than the speedoflight.
The gravitational constant was a global invariant, as far as anyone knew; after 1905 the speedoflight would also be accorded that status.
