Given the enormous size of the universe shows just how slow light truly is ... :)
To us Earth-dwelling humans, the speed of light is so fast that it appears instantaneous.
But zoom out a bit and it becomes clear how even at the speed of light — the theoretical speed limit of the universe, which our spacecraft can’t even begin to approach — a journey through the cosmos becomes a snail-paced slog.
A simple matter of scale indeed.
