Except that speed does in fact have everything to do with time
GPS would not work if we did not correct for the relativistic change in time encountered by the clocks on GPS satellites.

yes, and no matter how fast you go, time does not change relative to it. time does not have a rate. you have a rate of change of a value, such as distance down a road.
time is a undifferentiated metronome against which events can be charted. but it is in no fucking way relative to speed or light.
i shouldn't even be talking to a brainlet like you. obviously i fucking know what speed is, but you asked a stupid question anyways.
fucking WRONG.
speed has nothing to do with time, except that change occurs in the context of time. speed is not RELATIVE to time.
GPS has no special relation to time. don't be an idiot. an engine wouldn't work if a belt didn't 'time' the injectors, either. that doesn't mean fucking anything about time.
so when you said
>yes, light has a speed.
you were just randomly spouting bullshit
got it
Well that's not really to do with the speed of light, it's more to do with relativity. c in a Lorentz factor is more of a constant of proportionality, a constant we can eliminate by switching to Planck units.
Typing in all caps doesn't make you any less wrong.
You are under the assumption that there is some universal measure of time somewhere in the universe. There is no such thing.
don't play your stupid fucking avoidant games with me.
light does move at a certain speed, just the same as a tennis ball or bullet moves at a certain speed.
this doesn't alter times constancy in any fashion at all.
even the fact that if you were to travel very rapidly towards earth from far away, that while looking at it with a telescope, it'd seem as though things were moving faster down on earth. this has nothing to do with time. you're simply running into the light emanated from earth at a faster rate.
time itself isn't fucking changing and if you think it does, you're a zombie person who does not possess consciousness and does not have a mental existence.
time can not be measured because it does not have a rate. there is nothing to measure. events simply proceed at a certain speed and not another. this is a constant. there is nothing to compare it to. there's no way to measure existence, there's no way to measure time.
clocks only work because time is an absolute constant, and the clock proceeds in rates that are constant in relation to the rate that everything else proceeds.
time remains absolutely constant even if you speed up the clock.
if you can't grasp this, you're sub-human, you haven't developed into a rational being, you are merely a animal automata, who is blind, deaf, and dumb.
OP here
but WHY is lightspeed the limit? WHY can't we accelerate a space ship faster then light?
nobody here really answered my question
you all saying lightspeed is the limit, accept it.
but i wanted to know WHY is lightspeed the limit? do we know it yet ? i would be satisfied when you say we don't know yet but everybody here is just talking around my original question.
>but WHY is lightspeed the limit? WHY can't we accelerate a space ship faster then light?
there's no reason to think that we can't. people are just really, really confused.
in all likelihood light has a certain speed simply because the subatomic event that generates a particle of light has a threshold energy level that makes it so that any time a photon is sent flying, it's sent flying at a certain speed, because it breaks off at that threshold only.
there's no reason to think that this can't be manipulated.
Wow such insults
You really convinced me with that hot opinion
