Is 186,000 miles per second the fastest we can go or is there something…that might make you think about this property of light differently?  Here is an intro into a video that examines the physics we think we understand regarding light:

Following on from the multiple award-winning “Limits of Perception” and “Time Limits”, this is the third and final part of the trilogy of films that explores the limits of our everyday perceptions and beyond, showing that the world is a far more remarkable place than most of us ever realise. Humans are visual creatures — sight is our main sense. Yet our eyes often deceive us in peculiar ways. There is far more to light than meets the eye. This fascinating documentary explores the human’s visible spectrum of light and ventures even further into territories we cannot sense by ourselves without technical equipment: from coloured light to gamma rays, that could destroy all life on Earth, as well as radio waves, without which our modern society would be impossible. The film also follows the great pioneers, from Newton and Einstein, to Herschel and Roentgen, whose genius uncovered the marvels of the electro-magnetic spectrum and took us far beyond the limits of light.

What about the double slit experiment where the trajectory of light can change when someone is watching it?  It may be important to take that into account when debating this area of physics.  Also whether light is in a particle form or a wave form is extremely important to examine also when discussing this.

Let’s check out more about the limits of light according to this narrator in the video on page 2
