The speed of light is not about how fast it can type...but how fast it can move.


Once you understand 'thought' as information... then you can measure how fast thought can move.


Let me give you a simple example..

Your great great grandmother puts her thoughts in a letter and give it to a letter carrier, the pony express.

A 'letter carrier' is a person who carries a letter containg your great great grandmother thoughts , jumps on a pony and delivers it.


What is the speed of thought? ....today, might be a little faster.

How long did it take 'this thought' to reach You? And add all the different modes of..transportation.


Also add galaxies that are moving faster than the speed of light which also contain...information.


What is The Speed of Thought?


I think it's fair to say it's a little more than..."80 wpm".
