Light as photon particles that move by themselves alone could just go faster and faster, but it doesn’t. Current physics agrees that light has a fixed speed in space but can’t say why, so it is just given. However light as a processing wave spreading on a network can only go as fast as it is passed on, so the speed of light in space is 299,792,458 meters per second, no more and no less, because that is how fast space refreshes. The speed of light is then actually the speed of space (3.2.4).
Likewise, matter particles moving by themselves should be able to go at any speed, but special relativity requires them go slower than light, and common sense can’t say why. It also makes light from a speeding rocket still leave it at the speed of light, but why light ignores the relative movement of matter is just as obscure. The key question then is how does matter move?
