If we approach the speed of light, time slows down. Aren't we actually catching up to the speed of time? Wouldn't the speed of time and light be the same?

Exactly. But it really can’t be put in those terms.

Because a speed is a position derived into time, as an acceleration is a speed derived into time. So what would be a “speed of time”, a scientist would ask? You can’t derive something into itself.

So, what is time? It’s a computing speed in the universe, it’s the speed at which things communicate states.

But I prefer to think about it as being the speed of computing instantaneity (the “now” frame)

And from that point of view, there is no “speed of light”, because for light, time doesn’t pass, which means that light teleports in the universe, and is an instantaneous effect in its own reference frame (just like gravity and just like everything else).

So light isn’t really something that is moving, it’s more the computation that moves, that propagates.

Question?

We'd like to hear from you.
