That depends on what geometry you're using and how you define speed. It's infinite in hyperbolic geometry, which is the proper geometry for spacetime. 00:00 Cold Open 00:49 Speed Basics 03:06 Rapidity 06:19 Hyperbolic Geometry 09:21 Infinite Speed of Light 10:26 Sponsor Message 11:15 Outro 11:38 Featured Comment Nick Lucid - Host/Writer/Editor/Animator ________________________________ VIDEO ANNOTATIONS/CARDS Length Contraction Explained:    • Length Contraction is NOT an Illusion!   What if YOU were made of Light?    • What if YOU were made of Light?   ________________________________ SUPPORT THE SCIENCE ASYLUM Patreon:   / scienceasylum   YouTube Membership:    / @scienceasylum   Advanced Theoretical Physics (Paperback): http://www.lulu.com/shop/nick-lucid/a...
