About these units
Meter/Minute (m/min)
A meter per minute reflects slow but practical speeds for human or mechanical movement. At 1 m/min, motion is deliberate and controlled—appropriate for precision machining, automated stage equipment, or calibration systems. In exercise science, treadmill incline adjustments, warm-up activity, and walking machines may use m/min for exact gait-speed research. The simplicity of dividing by minutes rather than hours makes the unit useful for short-interval calculations in engineering and ergonomics.
Speed of Light (c)
The speed of light in a vacuum, denoted c, is exactly 299,792,458 m/s, one of the most fundamental constants of physics. Light speed defines the structure of spacetime, the upper limit for classical information transfer, and the basis for relativity. Time dilation, length contraction, and mass-energy equivalence (E = mc²) all arise from the invariance of c. In astronomy, the speed of light is used to define light-years, measure cosmic distances, and synchronize observations across telescopes. In communication technology, optical networks rely on light-speed propagation through fiber, albeit slightly slower than in vacuum. c is not just a speed—it is a cornerstone of the physical universe.
