If the speed of light (taken here as 300,000,000m/s as an example) is the maximun speed there is, then we can assume nothing can break it.
For that matter, we can assume the following: if one second has passed, light moved 300,000m.
Nothing can break the speed of light. Actually, it's the constant that determines time. The fastest thing there is, I mean.
Because of that, we can actually count time by m. The metre is a unit of measurement for 1 dimension. Nothing prevents it from being used to measure time.
If one second passed, we can say that we moved 300,000,000m in time (fast heh :eek:). That's pretty much my idea.
Applying the same hypothesis, we get the following comparisons:
1s = 300,000,000m
1min = 18,000,000,000m
1h = 1,080,000,000,000m
1 day = 25,920,000,000,000m (see how much we walk a day? don't call me lazy now :D)
1 year = 9,460,800,000,000,000m
which means we walk 1 light-year per year.
Cool heh?
Man I can't wait to have this kind of physics at school :P
