The ultimate answer is that, in our Universe, it just is. There's no reason it HAS to be that way, but it just is -- whether we like it or not.

Why is the speed of light limited in a vacuum?
The speed of light is not limited in a vacuum - the speed of light is fastest in a vacuum. But that is what Einstein called the "Cosmic Speed Limit" - nothing can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, or even quite asfast.
Formula for refractive index in terms of speed of light in vacuum and speed of light in a medium?
Refractive Index= Speed of Light in Vaccum / Speed of Light in the material
What travels at 300 000 km per second?
That is the speed of light.That is the speed of light.That is the speed of light.That is the speed of light.
Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.
Ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a material?
The index of refraction.
Why is the speed of light limited in a vacuum?
The speed of light is not limited in a vacuum - the speed of light is fastest in a vacuum. But that is what Einstein called the "Cosmic Speed Limit" - nothing can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, or even quite asfast.
Is the speed of sight faster than the speed of the light?
No, you sight works via light rays, so it is limited by the speed of light.
What whould happend if uneverse expand faster than speed of light?
the far away galaxies may be moving faster than the speed of light already. In general relativity theory, expansion of space is not limited to the speed of light as it is in special relativity
When was Speed Limited created?
Speed Limited was created in 1935.
What is the duration of Speed Limited?
The duration of Speed Limited is 3120.0 seconds.
What is the traveling speed of magnetism?
Magnetism itself does not travel. The effects of a magnetic field can propagate through a medium at the speed of light in that medium. In a vacuum, this speed is approximately 300,000 km/s.
Which travels faster light or rocket?
Light travels faster than rockets. The speed of light is the fastest known speed in the universe, traveling at about 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum. Rockets can travel at high speeds, but they are limited by the laws of physics and cannot exceed the speed of light.
What happen when we drive unlimited speed with vehicles?
I am not entirely sure what you mean with "unlimited speed". You CAN'T travel at unlimited speed; in theory, the speed is limited by the speed of light, and in practice, the engineering challenges are currently such that the actual speed you can achieve is much, much less than that.
Which type of Internet connection is theoretically the fastest?
An optical fibre connection is theoretically the fastest. It is limited only by the speed of light. In practise though, the maximum speed is limited by the processing speed of the routers (or computers) at each end of the fibre. Broadly speaking, optical fibre is faster than cable or DSL.
Is it the speed of light or light speed?
Is what the speed of light or light speed.ANSWER300,000 km/s
Is space expanding faster than the speed of light?
Yes, the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light. This expansion is a property of spacetime itself and does not violate the speed limit of light set by Einstein's theory of relativity. Objects within the universe, however, are still limited by the speed of light as they move through spacetime.
Is it light speed or the speed of light?
speed of light I think well it sounds right:)
