Light Speed and Aging

Do you think there is a relationship between the speed of light and aging? In order to understand this, it would be useful to look at the concepts of “speed of light” and “biological aging”.

What is the Speed of Light?

The speed of light is an important physical constant used in many fields of physics. It is usually denoted by the symbol c. Its exact value is 299,792,458 meters per second (Approximately 300,000 km/s). The length of the meter is calculated from this constant and the international time standard. According to special relativity, c is the maximum speed at which all matter and information in the universe can move. Speed of light is, the maximum speed of motion in space of all massless particles, including gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation.

Light Speed and Aging

All processes, such as biological, chemical, measuring the functions of various species, the human perspective perceived by the eye and the brain, the communication of force, in short, everything is limited by the speed of light. Here is the variation of clock functions at each level is available. This is due to a delay feature that we encounter depending on the speed of light and also in its own nature, that is, when it is analyzed atomically. Thus, we can talk about the twins paradox, that is, an experiment in which a biological aging process is mentioned. This situation is no different from the time kept by the clock.

What is Biological Aging?

Aging is a result of time, time is a result of change, and change is a result of movement. Physical changes in the body according to heredity, health and working conditions cause biological aging. In addition to hereditary factors, chemical, psychological, ecological factors and lifestyle also play a role in aging.

What would happen if it were possible to reach the speed of light, and what happens when moving at speeds close to that speed?

PREDICTION: Approaching this speed means that we are competing with the atoms that make up us and the electrons that carry out biological reactions. This ensures that the change in the organism is delayed and thus prevents our aging.

For the speed of light, the relative velocity equations are invalid. In other words, the headlights of a vehicle traveling at the speed of light has to can illuminate its front. Of course, it is not possible to reach the speed of light. But if we could reach or transcend, we could escape the concept of time and space. Our mass would completely turn into energy and we would cease to be matter.

PREDICTION: When a needle is pricked into our hands, we wouldn’t feel pain because our nervous system would work slower than us.

PREDICTION: Considering that electrons provide the electrical conduction in neurons in the nervous system, if we can accelerate as much as an electron, we can be free of senses. That’s why anyone who gets pain moves fast. Because standing still means being a bystander to the suffering. To get rid of the pain, it is necessary to be fast…
