No, the blink of an eye is not faster than the travel of light. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second, which is an incredibly fast speed.

In comparison, the average duration of a blink of an eye is typically around 100 to 150 milliseconds (0.1 to 0.15 seconds). This is several orders of magnitude slower than the speed of light.

Even if we consider the fastest possible duration of an eye blink, which could be around 30 milliseconds (0.03 seconds), it is still much slower than the speed of light.

So, the travel of light is significantly faster than the blink of an eye.
