As a possible 'Twist' on the 'suggestion' by TGGZZZ throwing a philosophical spanner-in-the-works
,
when talking about the 'moving' SPOT of light, (which of course has no speed as such
).....
I thought I would throw THIS into the thought process, of those that 'ponder' the interesting..........
As an Elect./Tech., I've always hated it when 'people' think/talk about ELECTRICITY moving at light speed !!!!
NOPE !!!! There is NO correlation ! Yes, a 'signal' may 'appear' almost instantaneously at the other end
of say a 100 mile long wire, but this has nothing to do with it. Imagine a TUBE filled with say PingPong
balls, and you 'push' one more in one end. The last one 'pops' out the other end, due to resultant forces !
(I know this is an extremely simplified analogy, which varies due to 'many' atomic/electron effects).
Depending on many various factors, I will 'quote' purely an idealized example for the sake of discussion....
A WIRE, carrying a DC current of say 10-Amps at 100v, (actually the voltage is not relevant), MAY only have
the 'Electrons' in it, (electricity is flow of electrons), moving along the 'wire' at about 1 to 10 Millimetres/Sec !!!
It is the CASCADING effect that produces the 'apparent' speed !!!
In fact, for AC, like in your House, be it 50hz or 60hz, the SAME electrons have been 'vibrating' back and
forth within even a short piece of 'cable' indefinitely, and going nowhere
