And I understand yous have been 'conditioned'/indoctrinated/mandated to only think in terms of..."in a vacuum" whenever refering to the speed of light. Maybe because this hangup yous people have to always desire to know what is constant. Yous don't like uncertaintly. So you want a same number ALL the time. Yous sleep better. And Einstein sleeps better if he conditions yous to only think in his box. But, I don't live in "a space entirely devoid of matter", so what is the speed of light? Does anything else travel faster in the universe, or does light travel faster in the universe? I mean, I don't live in "a space entirely devoid of matter", nobody does. I don't trust anyone who keeps repeating...",in a vacuum" all the time. Yous sound brainwashed. -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
