okay, i think i figured out how to measure the speed of light....


where is Jupiter's Moons????


which moon do i measure the speed of light with? Callisto???

There is no point in measuring c, it is 299792458 m/s by definition.

You really mean no none is allowed to test it to see if it is correct, is that right?



It's...forbidden.

It's not forbidden, it's pointless.  Here's an analogy: an inch is 
defined to be 2.54 cm.  It would be silly to measure an inch to see if 
it really is that long.  If it isn't, either you're not measuring 
carefully enough (so it's only a seeming "isn't") or the thing you're 
measuring isn't one inch long.  OK?

It's fascinating to watch people with no clue concerning metrology argue 
about it.

The definition of the inch establishes a relationship between one arbitrary 
system of units and another.  The speed of light is determined within a 
single system of units so your analogy fails.

In the case of the speed of light, the correct statement is not that the 
speed of light is x meters per second, the correct statement is that the 
meter is the distance light travels in 1/x second.  If that distance can be 
determined more precisely and repeatably than previous definitions of the 
meter then it's a good thing, if not then it's craziness.

It depends. c is defined for a sort of standard conditions.

But it can be still measured
if light behaves in various conditions differently.

By other words, if light at different conditions had propagated
by different speed, the metre would not have been defined by both.

It can be measured,
using a distance defined by the standard light,
if light passes the distance in different than expected time,
or if at expected time it passed different distance.

E.g. a specially taylored light beam
with nonzero orbital angular momentum and twisted wavefront
has the beam propagation speed slightly lower than c.

It is because the wavefront does not propagate linearly,
but on screwed trajectory of very tiny diameter.
So while its phase speed is still c,
its group and propagation speed is less than c.

P.S.: That all means there is really no point in measuring c,
but it still makes sense to measure speed of light.

If you are so strong in physics, what is the most affordable way to 
construct a conductive ink which may dry using a hair dryer?

A few ohms lost in conductivity per cm, does no matter. Is proper ink or 
glue conductive, to begin with?? I have no idea.

Did it ever occur to you to do a Google search on conductive ink and read
some of the 3,110,000 results?

Are you so stupid not seeing that's exactly the problem? I want to make my 
own.

Are you so stupid you can not see the many links about DIY conductive ink
one gets when doing a Google search?

You are a waste of time, unfortunately. But thanks for trying. If you have 
any experience with it, let me know.

3,110,000 results from a Google search to include basic information, who
sells such stuff and how to make your own and you expect someone to spend
their time and write up something special just for you.

Your question is economics and engineering.

Wait... what?! Devilish! Isn't that just 666,666,666 inversed/inverted?

Close? That's a funny way to spell desperate Desperate DESPERATE.  

Even TrumpET brags about his college he never attended classes at.
I adore the latest ETRADE ads: The Dumbest Guy In High School Buys A Yacht.

Just because you are, shouldn't mean you ought not have gone to college.

I'm beginning to calculate and understand why TrumpET loves Stupid People.
As OneStone is proclaimed to have noticed/plagiarized: Stupidit(y) Is Infinite.

Speaking of pitching unscalable TrumpET's solar walls... just one word... Ropes.
How about you Stupid People start reading about The Trojan Horse in Greek Mythology?

Speaking Canonicall(y), c=1. Ergo, E=M. Ring of Truth, Philip Morrison (MIT).

Well, since Albert Einstein not once mention the value of the speed of light, what do you suppose his answer would be????

The speed of light is tested daily by your GPS. If the value for the
speed of light, c, was wrong, the GPS would show wrong results.

So you are saying even light doesn't travel at the speed
of light? You funny guy!  LOL
