Speed has no existance in space, it requires the passage of time. The one way speed of light can be measured, and is very important to the design of curcits. Anytime you wish to argue this point, take it up with RtAdrm Grace Hopper. I count myself as very very bright, but I do not hold a burning punch card to Hopper.
"Since 1 July 1959, the international avoirdupois pound (symbol lb) has been defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg. In the United Kingdom, the use of the international pound was implemented in the Weights and Measures Act 1963. (a) the yard shall be 0.9144 metre exactly; (b) the pound shall be 0.45359237 kilogram exactly."
"The kilogram is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant, ℎ, to be 6.626 070 15 × 10-34 when expressed in the unit J s, which is equal to kg m2 s−1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of the speed of light, , and the hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium-133 atom..."
Nothing new. Rando hacker news poster, vs say... the International Standards Organization on Weights and measures. Hmm... I am going to place my faith in say... a group of people who's degrees far outnumber most of the colleges I studied at.
No, the speed of light is not defied in the "flattest" one of them. Please do your homework. "The speed of light is a universal constant denoted by c."
In my second college physics class, the final exam was one single question: "Derive the speed of light." I got a grade of 4/10, which put me at the top two students in the class. The class was a 5 1/2 month exercise in brutality of math. I would suggest you get a few college physics classes under your belt.
