    I learned about the difference between speed of light and speed of sound when I was maybe 5 years old at a park. I was looking at someone off in the distance. They were hammering tie-downs into the ground around a soccer goal. I could see them hit the metal with a hammer, and hear the sound of the hammer striking metal maybe a quarter-second later. I asked my parent to explain it to me, and they told me about how sound travels slower than the light we see by. I will never forget that visual.

    The colors would change. Traveling in that speed (edit: close to the speed of light, because AT the speed of light you wouldn't experience time or space from outside) would cause the light coming from the front to hit you with a lot more energy and cause a strong blueshift, and colors like violet and blue would become invisible, the'd hit you like ultraviolet. And if you look back, you would barely see anything, because the wavelenght of the light that's coming for you from behind is now way bigger and would have a deep redshift. It's just like the doppler effect, but with light.

      No, visually it would just be extremily bright in front to the point where you couldn't see anything due to you running into a large number of any photons not moving directly away from you in such short time, and then you'd see nothing behind you because light can't catch up to light. Of course this is ignoring many laws of physics. Pretending you are somehow a conscious photon (as mass cannot move the speed of light), time would stop for you so in your perspective you'd just seem to teliport instantly even if you go somewhere billions of light-years away.

      Fun fact about relativity: from light's perspective it gets everywhere instantly. Let's take a photon being emitted from the sun. From the photon's perspective, it would instantly arrive at Earth. From a non-realativistic perspective, that photon takes 8 mins. The reason that photons travel instantly from point to point is a fun property of math. Distances appear shorter the closer to the speed of light you get.
      This is to say it would be really boring as in your perspective you have not moved, but everyone else is 0.13 seconds older.

The speed of light, the speed of sound, terminal velocity, seconds becoming minutes becoming hours becoming days were, for whatever reason, such marvelous concepts. One of my favorite things to do was to guess how long it would take for events to happen and then time them. Examples included: Pulling the trigger on the nozzle -> water coming out of the hose, flipping a light switch -> light bulb lighting up. Everything always happened so much quicker than I thought. To this day I am trash at estimating literally anything (weight, size, speed, time, number of jelly beans in a jar.) Awesome video.

I reasoned that it couldn't be infinitely short, but it didn't seem to be long enough for me to time it with a stop watch.

      When you teleport, you are at point A, and then go to point B "instantly". But when time doesn't tick, even the word "instantly" doesn't make sense. At time t=0 you are at point A, and at t=0 you get teleported to point B, meaning that at t=0 you are at both points A and B and all the points on the trajectory between them.
      In teleportation, you are at one location at any single point in time. At the speed of light, you are at every possible location on your trajectory simultaneously. An observer travelling at the speed of light can't tell "now I am at point A" and "now I got to point B" because he would have to say those 2 sentences at the same time.
