          Your sun’s light can travel at the speed of light?

            • Claims to travel at the speed of light.

            • Still takes eight minutes to get here.

            Sus.

      That’s impressive. Having a non-photon mass traveling at the speed of light would break our understanding of physics. Get that laser pointer to the lab ASAP

        At the speeds it’s moving I imagine we already lost it.

      Wait, how do you make the laser pointer travel at the speed of light? I assume it has some mass.
