The universe appears "old", but it is still less than 10,000 years old
RE: The universe appears "old", but it is still less than 10,000 years old
Why would light travel instantly in one direction and at light speed in the other?

Answer: to give creationists a last desperate attempt to explain reality that doesn't sound stupid. even though it is stupid).


Why isn't the speed of light instantaneous.

Quote:Were there an infinite value for the speed of light, light itself would not exist at all. Mathematically, the wave equation that describes light as an electromagnetic wave would lose its time-dependence.

Quote: if you think light is a wave, then it has to be something that propagates and takes time to go from one point to another. In other words, it has to travel at a finite speed. Infinite speed of propagation is an instantaneous magical change in things everywhere all at once, and not a wave at all!

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
