About This Quote
Nothing in the universe can travel at the speed of light, they say, forgetful of the shadow`s speed. Here, shadow refers to the time it takes the object to reach its destination. If something is traveling at the speed of light (the fastest that anything can travel), then it would take no time at all for it to get there. If something were traveling at any other speed, it would take longer than that. The shadow’s speed is always faster than the object’s.
