Your reflection is two seconds behind you. You can't fix it.
Light starts slowing down: from 299,792 km/s to the speed of a bullet, the speed of sound, a cyclist… and finally walking speed. Sunlight gets years old. Phone calls lag. Sound beats light. And at 1 m/s, everything you see is already gone.
A first-person journey through a world where only one thing changes: the speed of light.
📊 The real math behind it
• At 1,000 km/s, the Sun you see is almost two days old.
• At 343 m/s, light is exactly as fast as sound: lightning and thunder arrive together.
• Walking at 70% of light speed: 10 minutes for you = 14 minutes at home (special relativity, γ = 1.40).
• Inspired by MIT Game Lab's "A Slower Speed of Light".
