Why Doesn't Light Ever Accelerate?
Our Spotify podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5rqQFYd... A candle flame and a gamma-ray burst make light by processes that share almost nothing — yet the light they release moves at exactly the same speed, and neither photon was ever slower. Nothing pushes it. Nothing speeds it up. So where does that one speed come from, if not from the fire that made it? Tonight we follow one quiet question — why light never accelerates — down through candlelight and starlight, through a famous failed experiment, and into the shape of space and time themselves. Get cozy and let this slow walk through the physics of light keep you company tonight.
