What Is Faster?

speed of light or speed of thought

I would say they are equal

http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/23027 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light I don't know how you would go about comparing milliseconds to miles per second.

easy, thoughts travel on pathways, it's electrical in nature and electricity can be measured in speed. all you have to do is figure how far it has to travel, find out how fast electricity travels through a specific conductor and then you can calculate how fast it's moving from point A to B, then compare it to the speed of light.

this seems more like a math question to me than something about the 3 things in the name of this section of the forums.

Light. If we can travel faster than light time slows down. What if we have thoughts while going faster than 186,000 miles per second, would those thoughts slow down?

Have you ever been put into a life or death situation and got that major adrenalin rush? I swear that everything was going in slow motion but my mind. Almost as if time slowed down just enough for me to react.

Lol I used to work retail. Long story short I wasn't having the best day and one of the employees started talking shit (I didn't do or say anything to make him go off, he thought he was being "cool") I walked up to him and laid him out. I remember like it was almost slow motion, shifting my body weight putting momentum behind my fist and watching it press deeply into his face. What stuck the most was watching the skin turn to purple.

i tried flipping the light switch on and off while trying to think light on but i could never tell which one is happening 1st

the electricity in your brain travels at the speed of light. they are the same "speed"

This might help you put things into perspective

I think thought. In thought you can travel from UK to USA in just friction.
