    The speed of light is constant at 186000 mph (miles per hour).

    If you plot light speed (c) on a graph [distance (d) on the y-axis and time (t) on the x-axis] you'll get a speed graph that's almost indistinguishable from the y-axis.

    The angle subtended by the graph of c to the x-axis (time) = 89.9996919582 degrees. This means that the angle subtended by the graph of c to the y-axis (distance) = 0.0003080418 degrees.

    Now, cosine (0.0003080418) tells us the relationship between the graph of c and the y-axis (distance) i.e. it informs us about the ratio between the space-time worldline of light and its component in space.

    It's said that the worldline of an object is always greater than the object's individual space (y-axis) and time (x-axis) components because the worldline of the object has to be shared between its space and time components [The hypotenuse of a right-triangle is always longer than its other two sides]. Please assume constant speed to visualize this.

    Cosine (0.0003080418) = 1 which means that, within the accuracy of the average calculator, the worldline of light = the space component of light. In other words, the worldline of light is missing a time component and that's just another way of saying light travels instantaneously or that light has infinite speed. Note that this result is arrived at using my Samsung cell phone calculator and working with the angles involved.

    To sum up, angle-wise, the speed of light is infinite or light travels instantaneously. [All this, of course, based on the accuracy of a 15 digit Samsung cell phone calculator with built-in trigonometric functions.]

    What say you?

    Is God using a Samsung cell phone? :chin:
