SCIENCE CITY TRIVIA

QUESTION:

If you threw a switch in New York City, how long would it take the current to reach Los Angeles?

ANSWER:

Electricity moves at the speed of light (186,282 miles per second), so if New York is 2446 miles from L.A., an electric signal would take only a little over a hundredth of a second to travel between the two (2446/186,282=0.013 seconds)
