SubjectWhat is the speed of light????
Message-ID<63D6CFA3.3C66@ix.netcom.com>
I know you're not suppose to ask this question...
worse yet, you're not even suppose to answer it..

But since I question the unquestionable, and ask the unaskable,...


What is the speed of light, since I don't live in a vacuum..and the universe
is not in a vacuum...so What is the speed of light?

That number doesn't appear to be anywhere. Are you not suppose to know, ...or even ask?

Or even test it to find the answer because it is forbidden to test it and publish it for others to see????


What is the speed of light, since I don't 'live in' a vacuum?




Oh, I forgot..most of yous don't know what the definition of a "vacuum" is...
so for your convenience I'll post it here...(maybes yous forgots)


 vac·u·um
/'vak?yo?om/
noun

    a space entirely devoid of matter.
    synonyms: empty space, emptiness, void, nothingness, vacuity, vacancy, voidness, nihility
https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=define+vacuum


What is the speed of light, anyway?

Analyses of the above text by ChatGPT:

The text is asking a question about the speed of light and
questioning why it is not possible to know or ask about it. However,
the speed of light is a well-established scientific fact and is
widely accepted to be 299,792,458 meters per second in a vacuum.
The text also seems to suggest that it is forbidden to test or
publish information about the speed of light, which is not true.
The speed of light can be measured and studied through various
experiments and the results are widely available in scientific
literature. The text could be improved by providing more accurate
information and avoiding statements that suggest a conspiracy or
lack of knowledge.

It would seem to me that if ChatGPT weren't programmed to be polite, it
would say "Google it, idiot".

Okay, I see someone with an imglish problem here...


What is the speed of light NOT in a vacuum???


I'll repeat the question but add...

What is the speed of light, since I don't live in a vacuum..and the
universe
is not in a vacuum...so What is the speed of light NOT NOT NOT in a
vacuum????


comprendere? capice? verstehe? 


What is the speed of light, since I don't 'live in' a vacuum?

Are you incapable of just looking this up for yourself? The answer is very easy to find, at least for people with normal intelligence...

Why should Jim or anyone else google that for you?

Hint: That was a polite way of saying "just fucking google it, idiot!"

Google it, idiot.

What is the speed of light in air?

About 1,060,000,000 results...

I understand, you simply don't know.


You're too embarassed to post a number...



I didn't ask 'What is the speed of light at McDonald's resturant.'

Readers of these sci newsgroups see this all too frequently, a clear
demonstration of the dunning-kruger effect where the idiot doesn't
realize just how much of an idiot he is being.

One of the possible answers to the question as asked is 38 mph.

"Starmaker" doesn't understand the question he is asking. That's
really bad form.

Don't under-estimate him. His question is going deeper than it seems at first sight.

He's asking, very clearly: WHAT IS THE SPEED OF LIGHT, and nobody here understood what he possibly meant.

WHAT is different from WHICH. Are you going to deliver explanations using photons or waves?

Anyone?

Any medium like this one is based on the use of language, not
based on guesswork related to "what he possibly meant." If
you're not familiar with Strunk & White a classical work on
English usage I commend it to you and anyone else who would
appreciate achieving an excellent grasp on what is meant in
writings by normal sentient reading level of 7th grade or
better authors. I use 7th grade reading level because that
used to be the reading level to which the New York Times
wrote. Good enough for the NYT, good enough for me.

> WHAT is different from WHICH. Are you going to deliver explanations using photons or waves?

The question asked was, "What is the speed of light NOT
in a vacuum??"

As asked, the question seeks a single velocity which is
an impossible mission because in reality it varies all
over the place from 38 mph upwards depending on conditions.
That 38mph is what has been achieved and it is likely
that some lower speed could be demonstrated by experiment
in the future.

Given the question he specifically asked, we cannot get
to the photon/wave issue you bring to the fore.

This is discussions about science newsgroup, not a discussions
about creative writing newsgroup, something that "Starmaker"
ignores with great regularity if not alarming frequency. I
hope you're not joining with him is such deviations from the
intent (see the charter) of this newsgroup.

I mean, I don't live in "a space entirely devoid of matter", nobody
does.

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.

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.



> I don't trust anyone who keeps repeating...",in a vacuum" all the time.
> Yous sound brainwashed.

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.
