Well PX scientifically speaking, lightning could be faster than light is! Don't shout at my face before I finish, according to physics, speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum is the highest possible speed there is and light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. However if you pass it through mediums, the speed can decrease considerably. According to what Einstein said, the speed of light in vacuum is something which can not be compared, that is even if you reach speeds near it, the relative speed difference stays the same but in case of light traveling through medium this is no longer valid. Lightning can reach near the speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum and therefore if compared to light traveling through some dense medium, it can become faster than that! Sorry for this lame ass weird comment. I just could not resist myself from bringing up too much science XD XD!
