Why is time associated with light?

Answer 1

because speed of light is non-relative, it stays the same no matter what.
a simple problem:
if u go in a space ship @ half the speed of light and turn the light on, wats the speed of light? it stills stays the same
this can happen as time is not constant, its relative to your speed
(einsteins theory of relativity)
therefore 'time is associated with light'

Answer 2

Simply because light has a finite velocity, and the concept of velocity involves dividing the distance the light travels by the time it takes to travel that distance. A "particle" of light is called a photon, a single quantum unit of electromagnetic radiation emitted from an accelerated electron undergoing an energy-state change. A photon thus emitted takes a specific amount of time to travel a specific distance.

Answer 3

Time is not associated with light. There is a distortion of time for objects approaching the speed of light.

Answer 4

Time is associated with the speed of light.
(according to Einstein - he should know)

Answer 5

To understand this, a person has to look at the formation of mass. Let's compare time with that of mass:

"c" is the maximum speed for that of light. Mass cannot attain to this speed, because at the speed of light mass would directly convert into electromagnetic radiation. This, then, leads one to ask, "what is the meaning of "c", and physical time?"

Is there anything in our universe that is not composed of physical time? No matter how mass and energy are examined, all that relates to them, and whatever they are composed of, has as its composition physical time. In the three equations that describe our universe (E=mc2, m=E/c2, and c2=E/m) the value of “c” is a necessary component, and is the most basic of the three, in that it is always a particular, absolute value. The value of “c” is the value of physical time.

For those who consider such things; do the above equations fit? If so, what would you say that the value of “c2” represents in our physical world? It must represent some particular physical value in order for it to have any meaning to the other two parts.

The electron, and its multiples, being the common unit of physical matter, becomes the basis of physical creation. The electron is composed of electromagnetic energy when it completes an arc of greater than 360 degrees and overlaps its own frequency, thus becoming bonded into three-dimensional mass. The value of “c” does not diminish when forming a circular standing wave having a diameter of a chronon. The magnetic lines extending outward from just one pole, give electron “mass” a necessary third dimension, so that as one mass it has the capability of uniting with anothers, and yet, because it is a mono-pole, it does not lock into a non-flexible state, so that electrons pile up with no manner of forming neutrons and protons.

Three dimensions are able to exist in an electron “mass” formed of electromagnetic energy – thus this entity becomes the basis of our three-dimensional world. Were our world to be reduced to its lowest possible form, that form of existence would become one-dimensional “c”. Everything that was once matter would become electromagnetic energy, or gravitational energy. This is the reason time concepts work for everything in our universe, when comparing one value, or object, with that of another. Everything has for its basis of existence physical time; and mass, as does “c”, each travel the exact same distance in one second, or in one "light year." Mass travels the same distance while stationary, and light moves the same distance from point A to point B.

It is obvious this condition did not happen by itself. The waves of energy are too tenuous to accurately form a circle and connect to their own frequency. They move too fast to form an arc so small, and too many of them are needed in just one particular location to form our universe. Mass and time cannot happen by chance. It seems the logical conclusion is that physical “time”, what everything is formed of, was done by an act of creation. No Creator, no creation.

Answer 6

A light-year is the distance light would travel in a year.

A light-year is equal to approximately
9,460,528,404,879 km (about 9.461 Pm)
5,878,482,084,580 statute miles
63,239.7263 AU

Answer 7

You mean as in lightyears?

This is the distance light would travel during this period of time......case in point....one year, which is a REALLY long way! Almost 6 trillion miles.

Answer 8

it is not ! just light is the fastest by now so it can travel in a very small amount of time huge distances !

Answer 9

because the speed of light is constant, to measure how strong a beam of light is, you need to know how far it went, then divide by the speed.

Answer 10

time is a measure of movement and light travels.
