Professor Sean Carroll dives into why "The Speed of Light" has stuck around for so long when it should really be called "The Speed of Causality", why we use meters and seconds when measuring the speed of light, and much more!
This clip is a recording from our Outside The Box series - an event where Sean dove head-first into the biggest mysteries of of our universe, unraveling the preposterous nature of the very fabric that makes up our world.
The event was hosted by Alan Duffy, Research Fellow and Professor at Swinburne University and Lead Scientist at The Royal Institution of Australia.
