Is there a theoretical maximum speed?
Question asked by: knowitall
The answer to this depends on the theory that you subscribe to.
Under Eistein's theory of relativity, the answer is yes and that is the speed of light, which nothing can exceed.
Thus the speed of light is the speed limit of the universe and nothing can move faster than this.
In fact light must always travel at this speed - therefore when on a train light travels at the speed of light, not the speed of light and the speed of the train added together!
