Just joined today, so, hi everyone!
And please, forgive me and point me in the right direction if this has been answered/discussed etc...
I'm pretty much an armchair physics kinda guy, and understand the whole concept of speed of light.. But what I can't really find an explanation for, is what exactly is the 'light' that is referenced to in the "speed of light."
Is this ALL forms of any kind of 'light?' ie: our light spectrum, Gamma, Xrays etc..
And their Hz don't depict how fast they travel through space and or time?
Do they all travel at tthe same speed, it's just their intensity is different?
Kind of like driving a Ford Focus into a wall @ 60mph vs. an Abrams tank through the same wall at the same speed? Where the Ford represents our visible light, and the tank represents Gamma rays?
Or am I totally and completely off here?
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!
