“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.”

“It is hard to understand how this infinitely dense singularity can evaporate into nothing. For matter inside the black hole leak out into the universe requires that it travel faster than the speed of light.”

“It is impossible to travel faster than light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat keeps blowing off.”

“Light travels faster than sound. Isn't that why people appear bright before you hear them speak?”

“Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.”

“I have not been able to relate the idea to the 'faster than light' neutrinos since there are no causality checks to decide if they are travelling in the past.”

“We all know that light travels faster than sound. That's why certain people appear bright until you hear them speak.”

“But sanity, Vasko decided, was like the pattern of lights he could see through his cabin window. In almost any direction the only way to travel was into darkness, and there was a lot more darkness than light.”

“Newton's proof of the law of refraction is based on an erroneous notion that light travels faster in glass than in air, the same error that Descartes had made. This error stems from the fact that both of them thought that light was corpuscular in nature.”

“The trivial travels faster than the profound.”
