Imagine being able to travel at the speed of light. In one second, you would cover a distance of three hundred thousand kilometers. In other words, in 1 second, you could circle the Earth 7.5 times. This is the speed at which light travels in an absolute vacuum, so a billion kilometers per hour! On average, it takes the sun's rays 8 minutes and 17 seconds to reach the surface of the Earth. In that time, you could drink a small black coffee. So why don't we humans explore space at the speed of light? Because the laws of physics make it impossible. Let's ignore this unimportant detail for a moment and imagine that we CAN travel at the speed of light.
