If there's something I'm missing you'd better explain... The way I understand it, is that light has a certain speed. 299792458 meters per second, according to @
Seiko Sora's post. Now, even at this speed, it still takes light 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach the Earth from the Sun.
Let's imagine for a moment, that you are stood on the Sun (and somehow you survive the extreme heat and pressure and gravity etc forces that act upon you), and you can travel to where you know the Earth is (it doesn't matter how you know this, just assume you are correct for the sake of argument). And you travel to this location where the Earth is, at just slightly over the speed of light... Even if you could shave 20 seconds off the traveling time, you miss the Earth since it is moving as well, orbiting the Sun. How can travelling at the speed of light then instantly make things jump towards you? Time doesn't actually stand still while you move at the speed of light- unless I'm missing something. This is based on only high school physics, so please give me further education if you can better explain it.
