Why a technical reason?  Maybe it&#x27;s a deliberate design decision, like how the physics are set up in a video game.  Maybe in this sort of scenario, they did some playtesting and found that setting light to that speed made the game more &#x27;enjoyable&#x27;.<p>Then again, it could be a way to cover up for a lack of content.  Set the speed of light to be faster, and it might theoretically make it so a species with massively advanced technology could reach the edge of the universe.  More convenient and realistic than an invisible wall.
