The Universe's Speed Limit
Nothing can outrun light, and that changes time itself
Throw a ball from a moving car and it flies faster. Shine a flashlight from that car: does the light go faster too?

- What a moving clock does
- Why no train reaches light speed
Why it matters
Speed changes how fast time passes. It's tiny in daily life, but your phone has to deal with it.
