  2. Mental chronometry - Wikipedia

    [15] [16] Similarly, increasing the duration of a stimulus available in a reaction time task was found to produce slightly faster reaction times to visual [15] and auditory stimuli, [17] though these effects tend to be small and are largely consequent of the sensitivity to sensory receptors. [8]

    The reaction time for responding to changes in force depends on physiological limitations and the attention level of the brain: an expected change will be stabilized faster than a sudden decrease or increase of load.

  4. Speed of light (cellular automaton) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light_(cellular...

    If a lightweight spaceship (LWSS) hits the colliding gliders, it will appear to move forwards by 11 cells in only 6 generations, and thus travel faster than light. [4] This illusion happens because the glider annihilation reaction proceeds by the creation and soon-after destruction of another LWSS.

    For example, for visible light, the refractive index of glass is typically around 1.5, meaning that light in glass travels at ⁠ c / 1.5 ⁠ ≈ 200 000 km/s (124 000 mi/s); the refractive index of air for visible light is about 1.0003, so the speed of light in air is about 90 km/s (56 mi/s) slower than c.

  7. Faster-than-light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

    In the context of this article, "faster-than-light" means the transmission of information or matter faster than c, a constant equal to the speed of light in vacuum, which is 299,792,458 m/s (by definition of the metre) [3] or about 186,282.397 miles per second. This is not quite the same as traveling faster than light, since:

    So the regime of flight from Mcrit up to Mach 1.3 is called the transonic range. [citation needed] Northrop X-4 Bantam (Mach 0.9) — Supersonic [1.2–5) 921–3,836 mph (1,482–6,173 km/h; 412–1,715 m/s) The supersonic speed range is that range of speeds within which all of the airflow over an aircraft is supersonic (more than Mach 1).
