Asked and answered, but apparently you are too stupid to read what has
been provided. There is no answer to "what is the speed of light" since
it varies with conditions. There is a "maximum speed of light" and there
is a so far established minimum speed of light. Both of those, as well
as all intermediate speeds detected, are conditional.

The question you have been asking repeatedly is similar to "what is the
IQ?" That too is conditional. Or "What is the drowning depth?"
Conditional also.

Repeating yourself as you do in this article is one of the signs of
old age dementia. Congratulations on achieving that milestone.

Your ability or inability to trust has no bearing on anything. Your
inability to understand the answer provided explains your status in the
pecking order around here. There are moments when Mitch makes more sense
than you do.

If you cannot understand the answer given here (and given before) then
even considering the very liberal nature of the charters of these
newsgroups you should not be attempting to participate here.

At this point you are a strong candidate for the 2023 Darwin Award. You
can easily win if you just hang in there.
