Ok so I'm having trouble understanding how to calculate this
If an object is moving so fast that it would take...
"Hours for light to catch up to it"
.. how fast would it have to be moving?
Let's say it would take 2 hours for light to catch up to it. What kind of speed are we looking at here?
Light speed is 186,282 mi/s
At that speed, in 2 hours light would cross 1,341,200,000 miles
So how fast would an object be moving, if light would take 2 hours to catch up to it? Is it possible to get a close estimate or is the time it took for that object to cross over 1.34 billion miles necessary to solve this?
