Is the speed of light the highest possible speed?

For everything made of matter, the speed of light is a limit. This limit does not apply to God, because He is at the beginning and at the end of every path at once and never has to wait for news to reach Him.

First, an important distinction. Matter cannot travel faster than light. This holds for everything made of physical substance, for particles as much as for spacecraft. Faith does not dispute this.

With God it is different. He does not have to wait until news from somewhere in the universe reaches Him. He is at the beginning and at the end of every path at once. The first verse above calls Him the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden. The second says that He is nearer to a person than their own jugular vein. His knowledge rides on no substance and needs no path.

Even within physics, the speed of light is not the same everywhere. It depends on the medium through which the light travels. In water or glass it is slower than in empty space. Whether there are media we do not yet know, in which other laws apply, is a question that cannot simply be answered with no.

Anyone who brings religion and science together must understand the science precisely. Otherwise any expert can show that an argument rests on a misunderstanding. That is why we do not say that physics is wrong. We only say that its limits apply to the world of matter, not to its Creator.
