Summarized: The speed of light is a universal constant and nothing can travel faster than it. However, in a hypothetical world where the speed of light was slower, and the speed of sound was accelerated to reach the speed of light, everything would be incredibly slow, and it would be impossible to travel to space. Chemical reactions in the body would slow down, and sound would be incredibly dense, leading to the collapse of the universe. Changing the speed of light would completely alter how the universe works, and it is not possible as it violates the laws of physics.

If the speed of light becomes what the speed of sound is then this is not possible to hear sound before seeing it, bacause the time will pass slowly also we can survive in that situation but the only thing that will be different is the occurrence of events will take place slowly because the passing of time will be slower than now, since everything is relative we won't feel any difference because the speed of our thoughts will also have got slower.

I'm no Scientist but us humans could run at the speed of sound no one jus tried our muscles Contract ever time we take a step but say if u take 50 steps in 1 second the muscle fiber's would cramp but if we could some how control our muscles then all we have to to run at the speed of sound is push the Kanetic energy from you're feet and double it

If you traveled around the equator seven times at the speed of light for 1 second, it would only be one second to an outside observer. To you, it would be instantaneous. What-s mind boggling is that it would also be instantaneous if it took 13 billion light years from the other side of the Universe. Time ceases to exist at the speed of light.

If some one is talking from a distance of 5 metres, I am able to hear and see that person at the same time, inspite of speed of light and sound being different. So, if the speeds interchange, why will be anyway different?
Light at the speed of 343 m/s will take less 1/5 of a second to travel distance of 5 metres.

Wouldn't gravatons or what ever holds gravity slow down due to this new speed of light? and maybe biology would be designed around this new universe.
also as an object moves faster the air effectively becomes -thicker- so the faster moving sound can travel at the speed of light due to the thicker air.

So high gravity would inversely switch the speed of light and sound but above 3 g gravity no human survive much less experimenting with anything else and they still research in nuclear bomb. What a waste. Gravity control is easier and cost less and kill more people invisibly than thousand nuclear bombs at once

We can be faster than sound speed definately but we could not reach upto half light speed in an hour. Peter your conspiracy is good for me to imagine the universe as a whole. You gave me a new philosophical thought and scientific rational thinking

One thing I dream of every now and then is overturning the order of everything from the government to the very laws of the universe. This would cause total chaos. - I would probably start by cutting off access to food, water, and other essentials.

They both depending on density of space and medium because if you change the space permissibility light speed would change to but if you polarize light or sound in a way that only at one angle can signal goes through while all other would stop

I think sound waves can move faster than the speed of light by using gigahertz frequency array a certain amount of gigahertz can move faster than other gigahertz combined it with light speed then you can go warp speed in my opinion

I dont understand how everything would be in slow mo. what happens Like talking walking and running is not relative to the speed of light. The light enters our eyes lately so that we may see blurred objects or lagged images

That makes me think what if you go fast run like 5 second to speed of life that idk if its consider a time travel in future and much worried cuz the once you knew will get much older from you

Light and sound has nothing to do with chemical reactions or speed at which people are walking, it might seem like there walking slow but there walking the same speed as normal

If sound traveled at the speed of light we would probably be incinerated by the friction it would cause igniting the atmosphere yep we all would burn to death if a sound was made

This is wrong. Things would not -appear- to move slowly. They would continue moving at whatever speed they were before, but we would see more red/blueshifted and blurry things.

The fact that everything in nature and this planet itself in order for us to exist is just too perfect, really amazes me (ofc aside from us humans sometimes destroying it)

Imagine the thunder from a lightning strike reached us a lot sooner than we see the lightning flash? That would be THUPER weird! Like BOOM! LIQQUITT!

well, but you can't assume that we can't travel faster than light if sound can. The speed limit does not change, you just swap who reaches it

Actually you'd still be able to drive what feels like a normal speed to you. Except when you got to your appointment you'd realize you'd be late.

If the speed of light decreases then we will experience real life Lag issues. Speed of light is just like FPS but in real life

You also forgot the skies would be really dark, just about anything outside of the solar system wouldn't be visible.

I-m not sure if this is correct but if you got shot out of a cannon you would time travel to the 1900-s-
