Justice Hunter said:I have a question :x
Technically, particles, like photons, which don't interact with the higgs field travel at the speed of light.
wouldn't the absolute minimum speed limit be something that interacts infinitely with the higgs field?
An object does not have to be infinitely massive to be stationary with respect to an inertial frame - it only needs to have non-zero rest mass.Justice Hunter said:wouldn't the absolute minimum speed limit be something that interacts infinitely with the higgs field?
The minimum speed in the universe is the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. This is the fastest speed that is physically possible for anything with mass to travel.
According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the speed of light is a fundamental constant in the universe and cannot be exceeded by any object with mass. As an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases infinitely and it would require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate it further.
No, according to the laws of physics, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Even if we were able to somehow overcome the limitations of mass and energy, the concept of time itself would break down at speeds faster than light.
Some examples of objects that travel at the speed of light include photons (particles of light), as well as other massless particles such as gluons and gravitons. However, it is important to note that these particles do not have mass and therefore are not subject to the same limitations as objects with mass.
According to our current understanding of physics, the speed of light is a constant that does not change. However, some theories propose that the speed of light may have been different in the early stages of the universe, and it is an area of ongoing research and debate in the scientific community.
