Traveling at the speed of light (186,282 miles per SECOND) is an impossible to imagine speed and distance traveling. So incredibly fast that it goes beyond our ability to comprehend.
Yet, if you were a space traveler. the speed seems dauntingly slow. Almost like you are not moving at all.

Yet if you could actually ride a photon, the travel time would seem instantaneous. Ah, the mystery of relativity!
 
This is 'way fast, but I always found this sequence a real DiNozzo slap, putting us in our place.
