Of course you got the word "travels" in there....but that relates to 'miles'.

If you have a horse in the Kentucky Derby that can clock at the 'speed of light'...how
do you make it go faster than the speed of light? You drug the horse! It goes faster.
(give the horse some cobra venom)


If i have a clock that reads the correct time 5 o'clock, and i set it at 5:05...is the clock running faster????
