Speed of light would affect the match in two ways:

  • creating relativistic effects for fast enough objects

I have no specific knowledge of badminton, but let's say a skilled player can hit the "ball" at 100 km/h. That is 28 m/s.

In In both cases that speed is peanuts when compared to the speed of light for both Sindu and Bindu. There would be no difference in the gameplay of the two.

  • influencing the reaction time of the receiver since he will see "too late" what the opponent did

Furthermore, signalSignal processing in our brain takes about milliseconds, which is way more than the time photons need to go from the "viewed object" to the "viewer" on a badminton court, which is in the range of tens of nanoseconds. Again, no appreciable difference.
