Light Years: The Distance That Breaks Our Brains! | The Quantum Slumber

Welcome to The Quantum Slumber — where science drifts into sleep. Tonight, we’re exploring light years: the cosmic distance unit that sounds familiar… until you truly feel what it means. We’ll move from human-scale travel to the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun, then step onto a calm “distance ladder” of light-seconds, light-minutes, light-hours, and beyond. Along the way, you’ll discover why a light-year is distance, not time, how starlight turns the sky into a gentle time machine, why the speed of light sets the limit for cause and effect, and what real missions like Breakthrough Starshot reveal about reaching other stars. Slow, clear, and bedtime-friendly — designed to quiet the mind while expanding your sense of scale. If you enjoyed this journey, please like, subscribe, and comment where you’re listening from tonight — I’d love to hear from you. #LightYears #Astronomy #CosmicDistance #ScienceForSleep #TheQuantumSlumber
