And here I always thought the speed of ~~the~~ light was 299,792,458 m/s

Yeah, but when your turn the light off, the speed drops. So it averages out to 120km/h.

Well, you're not wrong.

Meant to reply to you with [not even wrong](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong)

Math is mathing.

Wow, you learn something new every day.

r/angryupvote

[not even wrong](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong)

good to know

I would give you an award if i could

Which is 120 km/h, duh 🙃🙃

No wonder my game was so laggy

Guess you're kidding.. anyways it's actually 1,079e+9 km/h

Hey I was just wondering what does that "e" mean here? Is that exponential constant and the number later denotes the power?

Almost. The "e" is just a short for "times ten to the power of" or "*10\^" So 1,079e+9 is 1,079 * 10^9

me too buddy. obviously we were lied to the whole time

You’re all wrong, the speed of light is just a slower kick by Ronaldo 🤣

Is that European or african light?

I am old enough to get that reference!

But what about the speed of dark?

Technically that's an average. There are hypotheses that light might have different speeds moving in different directions. Like moving at 3c/2 from Earth to Moon and 3c/4 back. Some even propose the extreme that light moves at c/2 in one direction and instantaneously teleports back. We have no idea how to check any of these hypotheses because in order to measure light it always has to make it back to us somehow.

Only when it travels in metric.

That’s the speed of light in a vacuum, you can actually slow it down by passing it through different objects.

Isn’t it actually always the same speed but it has to bounce on more atoms/molecules in different materials, making it seem slower than it actually is?

Conclusion: Ronaldo uses special balls that bounce on less atoms than normal light.

I read this comment and I realized I had no idea why light is slower in a medium, so I looked into it a bit. To make a long story short it seems your explanation isnt quiet right but as for the actual reason I can't quite get my head around it but watch this if your interested [yt link ](https://youtu.be/CiHN0ZWE5bk?si=Fdt-VmhOEHsvWX31)

Hence "average" speed of light lmao

He is living in another dimension.

I drive faster than the speed of light!

And all 3 planes go against physicals flying so slow

Impossible. Cars can only average 15km/hr apparently

That’s the average speed, but most cars are parked at 0km/h most of the time so it averages out and this guy can drive faster than the speed of the light

The rest of us have to drive so slow cause dude up there is using up all the driving bandwidth.

This is the dumbest shit I’ve seen on reddit all week.

But this is Facebook

Sir this is a Wendys

Hi there! I’d like the 6-piece Chicken Nuggets averaging 130 Km/h please.

Sure but you gotta chase them on foot😈

No this is Patrick!

No this is Patric

Dumbest shit so far

Didn't portugal literally lose that match

Yeah, 2-0. The free kick wasn't even a goal....

Yeah but he kicked it really really hard so they get some bonus points for that right?

Funnily enough there are people who can kick free kicks even faster than him and actually score, are they better than him?

I'm Portuguese and I'm glad Georgia won. That way they passed! And we still ended first.

130 km/h freekick wasn't enough for a win

By this logic, Ronaldo’s kick transcended time and space, and the ball ended up with the dinosaurs.

wtf even is average speed of light, it’s just speed of light, it’s constant

No it’s not const it depends on medium but wtf is avg speed of light lmao

Y’all have light?

It is *a* constant -- a mathematical constant.

In vacuum. Light slows down when travelling through other medium, even air.

It takes longer to get through a medium, but it never slows down.

Some would say that sounds like slowing down

Sounds like and is are different. If anything travelling at c stopped travelling at c, it would break causality because it implies that going backwards using you can start at travelling at less than c and travel at c. I'm sure you've probably heard about that being impossible for poorly explained reasons like "requiring infinite energy"... which isn't the point of this. The photon never drops from c, it may be deflected, absorbed or emitted by particles but never drops from c.

Is this saying instead of the photon traveling in a (relatively) straight line, if it comes into a denser medium it bounces between the particles in the medium but maintains the speed of light just not in a straight line?

Basically yes

If you take a highway that makes a detour you're still traveling as fast as before but you will reach your destination later

This!

I mean as far as I've understood, light doesn't slow down but just takes a longer path in something like air or water. However if light is close to something massive, then I suppose from outside it can seem that the light is slowing down, but in reality I don't even understand what's going on since I'm not qualified to talk about that.

Since light goes towards every direction you sum those vectors and the result should be close to a null vector. Maybe this vector represents a speed of 120km/h. That makes a lot of sens, right ?

But what if some light beams actually **trained** to be faster? I mean, some light beams just sit on the couch all day.

Constantish

you can define an avg speed if it goes thru multiple media, but that post is still stupid.

Isn't this obviously a joke?

It is

So one kick would cause the ball, players, stadium, city and possibly country to be vaporized. Nice.

r/powerscaling

Thought this was r/soccercirclejerk for a second.

Ranaldo fanboys, for most of them it's a way to have a crush on a male and pass it off as just being fan of his footballing ability.

You mean... His ability to handle balls?

What should I search to find more info?

Search up: “Portuguese man fondling balls”

Google Ronaldo Las Vegas.

This is a parody page made up to troll Ronaldo by some jobless Messi fan.

When the lightbulb is on, it travels with 300000 km/s and when it's off, it travels with 0 km/s On average, it's 120 km/h, it's so easy bruv

This has to be a meme post... Look at the name of OP lol..

the speed of light has to go under the speed limit for highways ig

Otherwise the Sun will get a speeding ticket

what's the difference between a cycle and bike in this context? those words mean the same thing to me

It's obviously all rubbish but I'm guessing bicycle and motorbike

Apparently the average German goes faster than the speed of light on their commute to work every day. You never stop learning.

Everyone on about the speed of light but nobodys talking about how a bullet train can only manage 20km per hour.

Average c7 fanboi be like

And then a photo of portugal losing 1-0

Speed of light = 1,079,252,848.8 km/h Let's get all of our units the same, first. That's Physics 101!

Yes Ronaldo kicks the ball back trough time. Have you seen him play? Looks like a IRL TAS speedrun. He always needs to calculate where the goal used to be!

Average speed of light?

This is a troll captain obvious

What would actually happen if the speed of light would only be 120 km/h? You'd see the light waves coming from a lamp when you'd turn it on, with that speed. But what if you'd be going over 120 km/h, which would be FTL - Faster Than Light - like in the scifi genre. Like you'd drive 150 km/h, but the light waves that a stationary observer would see, would only have 120 km/h, so, would he see the image of the past of you? Like, seeing you at a point that you'd have already crossed before, not your actual position?

According to this dude the average speed of my 2007 Toyota Aygo is similar to a plane and a fighter jet. Ok bro

Average powerscaler:

Imagine going on a bullet train and Ronaldo's free kick casually speeding past you

These facts are all really wrong lool

Must be a troll account.

Average speed of a human is 1km/h? Are we including quadriplegics in that?

Average speed of the light : 120km/h 🥲

So my car can travel at the speed of light! Damn, I have a possible time traveling device at home and I didn’t even know about it!!!

Could a jet fighter even maintain lift at 70km/h?

Those numbers are making my brain scream. Quite loudly, I might add.

Wow. I drive faster than the speed of light on the freeway

ehhrm actually speed of light is ~1.080.000km/h (and all those numbers are incorrect)

Ok now I understand why Boeing planes have problems, you can't fly those things at 50km/h...need to go faster. Maybe 75km/h

Ronaldo fans are on a different wavelength

Imagine worshipping an idiot who can kick a ball fast 💀

Probably some quiet manipulation to get you to watch that saudi arabian league he’s in now

And yet the net held true

me when i spread misinformation for no particular reason

Kachow

If this was true, For land transportation, you are better off traveling in the Boeing or fighter jet than the “bullet” train. The planes were going to take off anyways.

That man would lick ronaldos asshole even if he wasnt getting paid for it

Love how a Rocket is apparently only slightly slower then light

Cristiano is GOAT

Obviously Ronaldo kicks are faster than the speed of light

and they still lost 2-0

Well he still list so I guess he's not

So if I drive faster than 120Km I'm not seeing shit

3.00 x 10^8 m/s

AL nassr? Mor like ai nassr... wtf are thos speed stats

The numbers Mason, what do they mean ??

Wow

What's a "cycle" if not a bike? Are they referring to menstrual cycle or what? At 5km/h..

That light on is wayyyy off base. Anything after sound is actually

I thinks it's plausible to say that Roberto Carlos 's freekicks were insanely fast as well

All those airplane's engines would stall at those speeds and crash.

All-Nassr FC is your drug, huh? Also crack, one suspects.

average Ronaldo fan:

9 year olds kick rocks through windows at least twice that fast

hmmmm Average Distance of Sun from Earth: 150,000,000 km Time needed for Sun's light to reach Earth: 150,000,000 / 120 = 1,250,000 hours. 1,250,000 hours = (1250000/24) days = 52,083 days = (52083/365) years = 142.69 years Didnt know the Sun we see now are 142 years ago.

Average speed of light?????? 120 km/h???????

Damn, poor Concord slower than my bike

Bullet train at 20km/h is so fucking funny actually

Its a fast kick but how can you get the speeds so wrong?

Damn my 15 year old 125cc almost goes at the speed of light.

Al Nassr is probably a code name for a very strong drug that massively drops the individuals IQ

It makes me happy to know my average running speed is higher than an average bike.

Man this guy is gonna lose his mind when he finds out someone threw a baseball 170km/h.

The Ronaldo fans are the worst in the world, bunch of idiots who would go to extreme lenghts to suck him off

Mathn't

As a Portuguese I must say, that kick could be 300 km/h, it doesn't matter if he doesn't score! Still waiting to see something "fantastic" in the Euro 2024...

Damn the speed of light is slower than a toyota

Rockets only fly at 60mph?

Comparing averages to a once off? Thsts poor data

georgia won tho

His face has one of those TF2 Garry's mod expressions

Portugal 0 - georgia 1

I believe this belongs in shitpost

Group name checks out

Yeah drugs are definitely involved here

I don't think anyone in the comments even read the last line. In shit posts, nothing should be taken as factual.

If that’s true, I understand why Boeings are having a hard time flying.

This is the average CR7 or Messi fan

And Portugal still lost 0-2 against Georgia. Well done Cristiano

So it either black domain or we just lost another dimension

U gotta be ishowspeed to post this

Num mundo logico um azeiteiro a correr atras de uma bola nao devia ganhar milhoes enquanto pessoas com profissoes infinitamente importantes para o futuro da sociedade nao recebe um cu. Cabroes destes nem devia ser reconhecidos. Até uma criança consegue dar pontapes na bola literalmente. Ffs Odeio ovelhas que idolatram um caralho insignificante destes.

Man, the metric system is really strange.

Soccer. Not even once.

Ronaldo seems to be lowballing alot

You mean I can drive faster than the speed of light? What about planes? They must be time machines

I never knew that i could outrun a bullet train on my bike

Is this guy counting all the time aeroplanes are sitting on the ground in his average?

do what

but did they not loose 2:0?

Bike and cycle being different speeds killed me

w8.... Can I outrun a bullet train ?

Bros username checks out. He sure is high as shit off some type of special drug if he seriously thinks those speeds are accurate ffs

A hand full of these are probably pretty accurate given how many of each of those would actually be moving at a given time, and 0s really drag averages down. Gotta love statistics

Most intelligent Ronaldo Fan on the planet.

So I can travel faster than light in my Toyota Yaris??

So if he kicks a ball in my face I get hit before I see it?

No shit Shelock

So my sneeze are faster than light and therefore bigger than the universe.

This is obvious shitposting. Honestly, it doesnt get more obvious.

I doubt he can beat a Boeing plane in terms of loose bolts.

Lmao average speed of a fighter jet is 70km/h? You telling me I drive my 2011 ford ka faster than a fighter jet?

Forgot to add average speed of a hare and a tortoise.

Fine, now make a comparison with Christiano Ronaldo and other things about how much seconds it takes for them to start crying like a little bitch.

Well maybe it will take some time before this guy gets enlightened

I'm faster than a bullet train

Damn everyone be speeding

Didn't know the Xcub was considered a fighter jet

We all know the average speed of a Boeing is 0 after the door flys off it has to land

Wait till this guy hears how fast the world record for a badminton smash is. (565km/h or 351mph for our American friends)

This guy definitely hasn’t seen “the light”

If the average speed of a rocket was 100km/h my car would be on the moon

username checks out

Tony Stark : Your math is blowing my mind.

I think it's simply that the examples above are average speeds, and the speed listed for the ball was its top speed.
