Which is faster, the speed of light, or the speed of thought?

While some would choose a comical comment, that some brains are naturally slow, I ask those with a serious analytic sense, how would you describe the difference?

I believe that thought is much faster; for, while light travel is measurable by a certain distance per second, and certain light years to get to certain stars, thought, is outside the boundaries of the very universe in an instance. I wonder how many of you would agree to this.

While it may seem impossible for man to develop travel techniques to suit this speed, it is believed that it's the manner of travel of ethereal bodies like angels and demons; spirits in generall; which is why they tend to suddenly appear and disappear.

This is simply my opinion in the matter; probably not too accurately scientific.

    Light can travel faster and farther than any thought! A thought only stays within a measured area about the size of a baseball! Light can get to the nearest planet quicker than it takes to get the thought out of the head!

    I think light travels faster, because the brain take a little bit of time to recognize a problem where thought is needed, but what you said is something to ponder
