Speed of Light
Speed of angels turned out to be the known speed of light.
Muslims believe that angels are low density creatures, and that God created them originally from light. They move at any speed from zero up to the speed of light. It is the angels who carry out God's orders. Those angels take their orders from a Preserved Tablet somewhere in outer space, and not from God's Throne. They commute to and from this Preserved Tablet to get their orders from God. In the following verse, the Quran describes how angels travel when they commute to and from this Tablet. And the speed at which they commute to and from this Tablet turned out to be the known speed of light:[Quran 32.5] (Allah) Rules the cosmic affair from the heavens to the Earth. Then this affair travels to Him a distance in one day, at a measure of one thousand years of what you count.
It is the angels
who carry out these orders. Those people back then measured the
distances neither in kilometers nor in miles but rather by how much time
they needed to walk. For example, a village two days away meant a
distance equivalent to walking for two days; ten days away meant a
distance equivalent to walking for ten days... However in this verse the
Quran specifies 1000 years of what they counted (not what they walked).
Those people back then followed the lunar calendar and counted 12 lunar
months each year. These months are related to the moon and not related
to the sun. Hence in 1 day the angels will travel a distance of 1000
years of what they counted (the moon). Since this verse is referring to
distance, then God is saying that angels travel in one day the same
distance that the moon travels in 12000 lunar orbits. We discovered that
in an inertial geocentric frame
12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day is equivalent to the
Speed of Light.
(Common sense says that sunlight
illuminates Earth and that without sunlight darkness will cover Earth; is
there anything simpler? But
the Bible says something else: In
Genesis 1:1-31 the Bible explains how the sun is related to day and night.
The Bible says that on the first day God created the light and darkness
on
Earth, the first evening came and the first morning followed. But God
did not
create the sun until the fourth day, specifically after three evenings
and three
mornings. So three evenings and the three mornings occurred on Earth
before
there was a sun. So according to the Bible daylight occurs without the
sun!)
