"Great spirits have always encountered violent oppositions from mediocre
minds." - A. Einstein
The idea that the velocity of light is the same no matter in what
reference frame it is measured is fundamental to the modern sceince of
physics. The premise started with the confusion resulting from failure of
the Michaelson-Morely experiment to reveal an absolute velocity reference
for space and shortly led to both the unique solution Lorentz
Transformation-Aether Theory and the general case solution (no Aether)
equivalent - the Special Theory of Relativity.
Since the conclusion that the velocity of light was constant in all
reference frames is based on observation, the necessity of understanding the
methodology of measuring the velocity of light should be apparent to all who
would deal with relativistic phenomena.
Velocity is defined as distance travelled (length) per unit time. If
one wishes to measure the velocity of any entity, be it light or bullets,
one needs in principle, a yardstick to measure the distance travelled and a
clock to measure the time required for the entity to travel that distance.
It behooves us then to examine the nature of the instruments which might be
used in making the required observations.
In principle, all measurements of length require the equivalent of a
yardstick. (It is not suitable, for example, to define length in terms a
number of wavelengths of light for our purpose since that would result in
measuring the velocity of light in terms of itself, an obvious absurdity.)
That yardstick is constructed, in effect, of an array of atomic nuclei
separated from each other ahd held in place by electromagnetic fields
("virtual photons" are one explanation of the operation of those field.) The
atomic nuclei contains 99.95% of the mass(energy) of the atom and are on the
order of 10^-15 meters in diameter. The atoms in the array are separated by
about 10^-10 meters. To provide some perspective, a scale representation
would show that if the nuclei were enlarged to the size of a billiard ball,
the nominal distance between nuclei would be about 3.1 miles. Obviously the
length of the yardstick is determined almost entirely by the characteristics
of the electromagnetic forces acting between its nuclei. Similarly, time is
measured by counting the "ticks" of a clock or their equivalent. The time
between clock "ticks" is measured by the period of some type of resonant
system. Such a system could be composed of the coiled "hairspring" of a
watch and a blanace wheel or it could be composed of the elasticity of the
bond between two atoms and the mass of those atoms. In all cases, the period
of the resonant system is determined by the spring constant acting in the
resonant system and the significant mass of that system. In other words,
with regard to relativistic effects, what is true of one type of clock is
true for all types of clocks!
Let us then consider what would happen if the velocity of light in free
space were to change. Since the atomic nuclei of the yardstick control their
separation by electromagnetic means, the nuclei would sense that their
separation was now "wrong" and they would move to correct the error. thus
causing the yardstick to change its length. The stiffness of the clocks
"hairspring" is also determined electromagnetic means and the mass of the
"balance wheel" is determined by the energy represented by that mass and the
velocity of light in accordance with M=E/C^2! The result would be that the
postulated change in the velocity of light should change the calibration of
the clock. If the Principle of Relativity is applicable, as indeed it must
be if the Laws of Physics are to be the same in all velocity and elevation
reference frames, then the length of our yardsticks and the speed of our
clocks must change as a result of the postulated change in the free space
velocity of light. Moreover, that change must be such that a measurement of
the velocity of light would be produce the same value regardless of the
reference frame (velocity, elevation)in which it was measured. This would
occur because the units of measurement by which the velocity of light is
measured would change to conceal any actual change in that velocity.
Any measurement of the velocity of light that we may care to make is
actually a measurement of the velocity of light in terms of the velocity of
light. Such a measurement is clearly meaningless. The quantity we accept as
the velocity of light probably results from the dimensionaless Fine
Structure Constant which reveals the velocity of light in terms of the
dielectric constant of space.
To add perspective to the discussion. It is axiomatic that every
process which involves obeying physical laws (including the "constantcy" of
the velocity of light and the length of our "yardsticks" must contain the
following steps.
1:- It must measure the magnitude of the quantity in question.
2:- It must compare the measured quantity with its nominal value.
3:- It must apply the necessary "force" to reduce any error towards
zero.
This is not an invention of the writer. It is a requirement of any
stable process.
The framers of relativity theory missed the boat in not digging deeply
enough. It is not enough to accept the Principle of Relativity. The question
they should have asked is why does the Principle of Relativity hold. Such a
question leads to the very obvious answer that it holds because matter uses
the velocity of light to control its parameters. One need only to add the
proviso that information cannot propagate faster than the velocity of light
and the mysteries of SR vanish (providing one is not too lazy to follow the
reasoning through to its conclusion). In the case of gravity, the effects of
a change in the velocity of light between reference frames which differ in
elevation is immediately obvious, it is called gravity. Gravity results
because proximity to energy causes an increase in the "absolute" permeabilty
of the Aether. All of the known gravitational effects cah be shown to follow
from this change. Space is not "curved".

Actually you would either be measuring distance or time, as the speed of light

an academic exercise, that your distance and time measuring devices were "standards"
and confirm the velocity of light. However both of those measures are defined

Hey, stooopid spammer Ernest Wittke - Do you want EVIDENCE? Each of
the 24 GPS satellites carries either four cesium atomic clocks or
three rubidum atomic clocks in orbit, with full relativistic
corrections being applied. NAVSTAR Block II GPS satellites (currently
being launched as replacements) have two rubidium and two cesium
atomic clocks.
Internal inconsistencies in SR (meaning inconsistencies of a purely
mathematical logical nature) automatically lead to contradictions in
number theory, itself, and arithmetic, since the mathematics of
Minkowski geometry is equiconsistent with the theory of real numbers
and with arithmetic.

Carroll on what it all means.
Special Relativity is physics on a topologically trivial Lorentzian
manifold with a metric whose curvature tensor is zero. This is a
perfectly diffeomorphism-invariant condition and does not require
any particular coordinate choice. It is invariant under
the full group of diffeomorphisms. The Poincare group is
the group of *isometries* of the metric in special relativity.
The Special Relativity metric is *non-dynamical* (unlike GR). It
defines the coupling *constants* of your theory. If you change the
metric in any nontrivial way you are changing your theory. An
operation can only be called a "symmetry" of a special-relativistic
(non-gravitational) theory if it preserves the metric, and therefore
the symmetry of special-relativistic theories is the Poincare group
only. General Relativity (gravitation) has a dynamic metric.

The problem is, you dick-sucking sack of shit, is that measuring c is
like using a ruler to measure itself. Whether or not the ruler expands
or shrinks makes not difference: it's always the same result. Why?
Because c is an inherent part of the mechanism used by our measuring
instruments. Don't you dare deny this, fuckface.
This is the reason that c is always the same regardless of our frame
of reference. And certain not because it is actually invariant
underneath.
So get a fucking clue, you fudge-packing pederast. I swear! Physics is
so much fun.

What a fucking moron your are, Uncle Al! There are many constants in
physics such as c, e, and h. Defined or not, they still have to be
measured, you imbecilic asswipe. You really are a stupid motherfucker.
I always knew it. .... ahahaha... AHAHAHA... (thanks Hanson).
Makes no difference, fuckface. It still has to be measured, and very
carefully.
I don't fucking care, shitface. It still had to be measured. You don't
get a measurement by pulling it out of your ass. Of course, light
speed is exact but so it the elementary charge. But, again, it had to
be measured. This is true whether or not some fuckface decides to
define it as a constant.
The point of the thread, (before you decided to stick your head up
your ass) was figuring out why the speed of light is constant in all
reference frames. It is constant because it is an inherent part of our
measuring instruments. So, regardless of the actual value of c
relative to our FOR, we will always measure the same value. So get
your head out of your ass, you cretinous fool.

I have no problem with that. In fact, if you think very carefully and
if you understand that the universe is discrete (if not, you're a

>>We had a bad fixed prejudice, action only through a medium and medium
equals the mass. This traditional fixed idea seriously distorted the
science of understanding the light and its propagation characters.
Light is exactly the same as sound wave in propagating character.
However, in standard high school texts they deny this fact, light is
entirely different from sound wave. It is due to a strong influence of
particle physicists who believe light is corpuscular photons. Sound
wave once released from its source propagates through the air phase
with its own speed that is nothing to do with the speed of its source.
If the source moves at some speeds there occurs the Doppler effect.
Light is exactly the same as acoustic waves, in terms of its
propagating character. Light pulse once emitted from its source
propagates through empty space at its own speed, and this speed is
nothing to do with the speed of its source. Thus there occurs the
Doppler effect when the source moves at some speeds. One cannot hear
the steamwhistle influenced by the Doppler effect if one is in the same
train. It is because the elongated wavelength of steamwhistle due to
Doppler effect turns out to be restored to its initial dimensions when
he receives it in the same train, because he runs with the same speed
as the train does. Light is exactly the same. If light source and the
detector are on the same coordinate system, or on the earth, one can
measure always the absolute speed of light, without any relation with
the orbiting speed of the earth. Elongated or condensed wavelength of
light due to Doppler effect becomes restored when the detector receives
it. Because the detector has to receive the wave signal as it advances
or in reverse case retreats with the same speed as the source, Albert
Einstein didn't know this simple plain truth. Since his photon travels
with its momentum given by its source, as though a shut bullet travels
in the space with its momentum given by its rifles. Obviously the speed
of bullet involves the speed of rifle. So he set forth the famous
postulation for his special theory of relativity; If a number of
observer are moving at uniform velocity in respect to each other and to
a source of light, and if each observer measures the speed of the light
emerging from the source, they will all obtain the same value. The same
value in his word means the absolute speed of light from which the
speed of source is excluded. In order to explain the failed experiment
of Michelson-Morley, the speed of source v had to be removed, but he
didn't know how to remove it from additive formula, c=c'+ v, so he made
his postulation c=c' when v approach the speed c. Thus he proposed the
general principle of projectile mechanics involving the travelling
mechanism of light, expressed with a stupid equation:
v=(v'+u)/(1+v'u/c^2), by borrowing the idea of Lorentz's space
contraction. And he announced that the speed of light is constant
anywhere in the cosmic space, because the light has the fastest speed
of all possible speeds in the nature, based on his also stupid
equation, m=m'(1-v^2/c^2)^-1/2. Mass increases its absolute value as
its speed increases, so if the speed of mass approaches the speed of
light its acceleration can no more contribute to its speed increment.
However this is a fraudulent story if we believe that the vacant space
itself is only the medium of light propagation. Because the vacant
space is absolutely uniform anywhere in this cosmic space, so the speed
of light has to have a naturally constant speed. Then how can we
explain the light refraction taking place between different materials
with different optical density? I could learn this phenomenon in
Dr.Yoon's textbook(www.yoonsatom.net) The light section in his book
clearly explains the refraction phenomenon with a simple equation built
without any postulation, involving no speed factor, but containing
wavelength of incident light, mass density factor, as well as incident
angle of incoming light. He asserts that light refraction can take
place because the atomic nuclei in mass system subdivides the incoming
light wave into numerous micro beams which develope into spherical
waves, so the constructive interference between them build a refractive
light with a different running direction. He also shows a number of
schematical experiments of light refraction, utilizing a large number
of concentric half circles representing sequential wave phases, drawn
on two transparent films, and superimposing them. And he claims the
empty space itself is the only medium of light propagation, and element
particles building material system has nothing to do with this light
propagation. Although this assertion conflicts critically against the
traditional concept, it is quite correct. People today has been taught
that electrons building the material system serves to transmit the
light passing through material system. Feynman had also the same idea,
so he debates critically the Feynman's equation representing refractive
index, built based on his QED theory, saying that it is a typical
example of cheating people with a fantastic mathematical trick. As one
knows as a plain truth, electric and magnetic force can act through
this empty vacant space without any aid of mass particles. He emphasis
in his book we have to abandon our old prejudice, action only through a
medium and medium equals the mass. Particle physicists believe that the
electric and magnetic force acting through this vacant space is due to
exchange of their energy grains traveling with their momentum, and
disregard the true mechanism of how these forces can act without
medium. This incorrect belief, mass system interferes the speed of
light is inherited from our science pioneer such as Fizeau who tried to
investigate in 1845, how does the speed of light change due to moving
speed of its medium, such as water. He mis-evaluated the light
interference occurred between two light beams, one running along the
flowing water and the other against that, as speed difference between
them. But it is quite incorrect! Imagine two rockets. One approaches
the earth and the other departs from the earth with the same speed. If
they emit lights with the same wavelength to a detector on the earth,
the detector would receive two signals interfering with one another,
exactly the same pattern as that Fizeau obtained in his experiment.
Have these two lights different speed? Absolutely no. They are exactly
the same. This is the reevaluation of Fizeau's experiment by Dr.Yoon,
and he says if vacuum empty space itself is only the medium of light,
there cannot exist such a moving coordinate system in this universe as
far as concerned to transmission of light, which is the base of
Einstein's two relativity theory. newedana says based on Dr.Yoon's new
physics.
So fucking what, dickhead?

Makes no difference, Uncle Al. It still has to be measured, and very
carefully.
Unfortunately, only light frequency is possible to measure.
Nobody ever measured the speed of light propagation in open
space because it requires an engineering tool that could run
information faster then the speed of light.
I notice that Savian puts you straight in line, along with all the other
fuckface around here.
It looks like that the only way to deal with parrots is "ą la Savian".

Idiot.
Ever see a big bubble and small one go up in water. As soon as it
cant speed up it starts moving back and forth side to side.
More energy up against the rate energy can react with energy will
move more sise to side but go forward at the same speed.
Energy pushing up against time.
Top to top can be 10 mile long wave.
Photon cant be 10 miles long as a partical.
How long will it be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
frequency x wavelenth equals C .
Its imposible to measure a photon at any rate but C.

Bullshit. Lightspeed has to conform to the standards used for the
meter and the second which preceded the measurement of the speed of
light. Or vice versa. Everybody knows that lightspeed is measured
constant in all FORs. BFD! But even if the standards for the meter and
the second are based on an arbitrary value for c, it does NOT fucking
follow that c is not measured. It would still have to be measured in
order to obtain a proper meter and/or a second. Get a fucking clue,
you cretinous shithead.

Of course. I just don't understand why you would mention something so

How does one give a photon more energy?

I never heard of anybody adding more energy to a given photon. My
understanding is that any given photon's energy remained constant
after emission. A photon is all energy to begin with, no mass.

This is all bullshit, Frazir. That is YOUR understanding of a photon.
Nobody has ever measured the frequency of a single photon AFAIK. I
maintain that it's a bunch of crap. An isolated electron emits photons
all the time and, even though we are told that these photons are
virtual and that they cover the whole frequency spectrum, I think it's
a bunch of crap. I personally do not believe that a single photon has
a frequency. I am convinced that it takes multiple photons to create a
wave. But it's my own theory. Take it or leave it.

OK, somewhere I must have missed a loop in this discussion

It's still legal to go .sigless.
It should be noted here that the prior definition of the
meter (using wavelengths of Kr-86) had an error of about
4 * 10^-9, which turned out not to be accurate enough.
Perhaps Savain can explain the logic behind the
scientists' rather interesting decision sometime
in 1983 to just say "the heck with it" and define
the meter to be exactly the distance traveled in
1/299,792,458th of a second (said second itself being
defined to be 9,192,631,770 complete oscillations
of a certain Cs-133 state transition)? Obviously,
they had to have a reason...
However, just to be slightly pedantic, there can
be measurement involved -- if only to count off the
oscillations of that cesium atom and to establish the
length of the meter. But one needn't do that measurement
just to get lightspeed, nowadays.
(For the record, 9192631770/299792458 = 656616555/21413747.
Darn those inconvenient units. When can we use
kilonils? :-) )
Uncle Al must have pumped you in the ass the night before, Wormley. On
that very page you refer to, there is a link which deals with nothing
but the measurement of the speed of light over the years:
http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/classes/109N/lectures/spedlite.html
That the speed of light is defined has nothing to do with whether or
not it is measured, fuckface. The decision to define c probably had to
do with providing a practical way to standardize either the meter or
the second. This way nobody has to go to Paris or some other
standard's body to calibrate one's measuring tools. One simply has to
measure c and adjust the tools accordingly using the defined value for
c. Get a clue.
You and that fuckface, Uncle Al, are fucking stupid to an absurd
degree. Your fucking ass-kissing job is to prevent people from doing
their own thinking. Uncle Al managed to change the subject of this
thread so as to prevent people from discussing the reason why c is
measured constant in all FORs. So the stupid motherfucker sticks his
head up his ass as far as it can go and declares that c is no longer
measured. Do you assholes get paid for this shit? Dishonesty in
science is a sign of hidden vices. Are you two dickheads pedophiles by
any chance?
>I notice that Savian puts you straight in line, along with all the other

Correct. They are a bunch of chicken-shit, deceiving political
dickheads. They thrive on admiration from the lay public like the high
priests of old. They can't handle disrespect and scorn. Their primary
weapon is propaganda. Disrespect makes their blood boil. It's like

Louis,
Perhaps it would be better to say, that careful measurements must
be made to calibrate the -meter- in terms of c and the definition
of the second? If c is understood by international standards to
be a constant, and the second is defined in terms of a given
number of hyperfine transitions in cesium, then it the -meter-
that needs to be calibrated in terms of the other two.
Thanks,
Jerry
There is little doubt in my mind that you are right. It makes sense
since it's a lot easier to get an accurate time measurement than a
length one. In addition, there is no need to keep a standard meter rod
at the offices of avoir-du-poids in Paris or anywhere else. In the same
vein, some people have recently been arguing for a redefinition of the
kilogram.
Having said that, I will not let Uncle Al and his fuckbuddy Wormley to
continue to spread their bullshit to the effect that just because c is
defined, it is no longer measured. It is measured everytime someone
needs to calibrate a meter rod using an accurate clock. The hidden
agenda is obvious to anybody with more than 2 neurons between their
ears: The assholes want to do your thinking for you because they're
afraid you may find out that a lot of the bulldhit that passes for
science is just that, bullshit. These two ass-kissing, shit-for-brains
dickheads can go fuck each other, for all I care. But then again, maybe
not. They might like it.

You are such a dick-sucking sack of shit, Wormley. Have you no fucking
shame, asshole? This was never a point of contention. The argument has
to do with the dumbass claim made by your fuckbuddy, Uncle Dickhead. He
claimed that light speed can be any fucking abirtrary value. If that
were true, why did they not make it 1 or even 0 meter/sec?
The truth and the logic of the decision is not hard to figure out,
except by you and Uncle Dickhead. They decided that, instead of basing
the meter on some metal rod kept in a glass case at some standards
organization, it would be better to define c to be the most accurate
measured value they could get their hands on based on the standard
meter at the time. It certainly was not an arbitrary value as Uncle
Dickhead suggested. Otherwise the length of the meter would have
changed drastically. They then based the meter on that now fixed value
of c and on the standard for the second. Once that was agreed upon,
they could discard the standard metal rod. What is so fucking hard for
you understand?
So if anybody wants to create an accurate ruler for distance
measurement, they no longer have to fly to Paris to compare their ruler
with the standard. All they have to do is use the distance traveled by
light in
1/299,792,458 of a standard second. That, fuckface, *is* a measurement
of light speed whether you can fucking see it out or not. Given that
you and Uncle Dickhead share a single neuron between the two of you, it
will probably go over your heads.
This does *not* fucking mean that c is not measured to be constant in
all FORs, shithead. The question was: Why is lightspeed constant in all
FORs. Since you and your fuckbuddy don't fucking know, you decided to
create this subterfuge to hide your fucking cluelessness. If you don't
fucking know something, you two shitheads should shut the fuck up. So
get your fucking stinking head out of Uncle Al's ass and breathe some
fesh air for a change, you cretinous asswipe. :-D
Now, it's time for you and Uncle Dickhead to go pound each other in the
ass. Physics is so much fucking fun! I love it.

Hence the qualifier "attempted discussion". :-) I have no
idea what Savain (or Traveler) is on about (or for that
matter, on; one hopes it's legal) here.
Of course nowadays the question will pervert into how accurately
one can measure the wavelength of Kr-86 light (used in the pre-1983
definition of the meter). GR has yet to be disproven in that
area, and AIUI your chirality results will not change the speed of
light isotropy, though I can't say for sure, since I don't
understand most of it.
For now, c = 299792458 m/s is a good working assumption, absent
further evidence to the contrary, which I for one would think
rather unlikely at this point, though the Pioneer anomaly is
an interesting one.

Uncle Dickhead (Uncle Al) claims that lightspeed can be defined to be
*any arbitrary* value. He declined to mention what that would do to the
standard meter (assuming that the standard second remains as is.)
Uncle Dickhead further claims that that since c is defined, lightspeed
no longer has a measured constant value in all FORs. IOW, according to
Uncle Dickhead, nobody is allowed to talk about a measured lightspeed
or about why lightspeed is constant in all FORs.

So OK. How does one measure lightspeed?
The last measurement method I'm aware of involved the usage
of krypton-86 and was accurate to 4 parts per billion -- which
turns out to be not quite accurate enough, so in 1983 the
powers-that-be decided "screw it; just assume it's constant
and let's get on to more important stuff".
And, more importantly, does lightspeed change with the
motion of the observer with respect to the lightsource?
SR and GR both say no. BaT says yes.

[*] A nil is defined -- somewhat whimsically by me -- to be
the distance traveled by light in a nanosecond.
A kilonil is just a shade under 3/10 of a kilometer, and
might be used in lieu thereof -- someday.
Can we have that in furlongs per fortnight please?
Given the usual definition of fortnight, 14 days,
and the modern definition of furlong, 660 feet,
lightspeed equals 1802617499785 furlongs/fortnight
(all figures significant)
However, fortnight has an alternative definition
of half a synodic month = 14.765294 days, i.e.
lightspeed equals 1901155500000 furlongs/fortnight
(rounded to eight significant figures)

ahahaha... ahahahanson
The velocity of light, C, is undefined when entropy is undefined.
According to the NIST in Colorado,
C is X Special_Maser_Maxima_Events over Y Special_Maser_Maxima_Events,
...so C is, obviously, a unitless ratio ( indeed, it's often defined as 1 ).
And how, exactly, does one measure Special_Maser_Maxima_Events
when two gold nuclei, traveling at 99.995 times C, collide head on ?
...you can't, so, obviously, C is undefined at that time.
Observationally, there was no entropy at the start of big bang,
and there will be infinite entroy at the end of our universe, so,
...C is undefined at both the start and the end.
Although observations always fall short,
it's a good bet that, intrinsically, entropy is every bit as spatial as time,
...entropy is the fifth Spatial dimension.
Google gives the figure 1.8026175 * 10^12, which agrees
with your first definition. However, the second is
not one I for one would have considered, as I hadn't
known about it. :-)
Eh?
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle requires, in QM, that the product
of a particle's momentum and position uncertainties always equals
or exceeds a certain value (which depends on Planck's Constant).
Therefore, as a corollary, if a particle's momentum is exactly
known its position is completely unknown.
Such is the case with light.

If they really had chosen any arbitrary value for c, either the second
or the meter would have changed drastically. Is this what happened?
No. They chose to use an existing MEASURED" value of c that was
accurate enough. Then they decided to freeze that value and use it in
conjunction with the standard second to calibrate the meter. This is
much better than to use an inaccurate standard meter to obtain c. How
does that make c *not* measured, pray tell? Every time one calibrates
a ruler, one has to measure c. Stop kissing ass, ghost. It's one thing
to be a ghost and another to be a (too) friendly ghost.
And one more thing. How does any of this change the fact that c is
measured constant in all reference frames?
[cut crap]
Hey, Uncle Dickhead. Did John Baez's have a bowel movement when you
publicly and shamelessly kissed his ass last week on sci.physics?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Or the red would ghost the blue .
There would have been an overlap if any colors arived late .
are there 14 colors in a row ,,do they overlap or did all the colors
get there at the same time ??
this experiment is valid .
It's a new experiment out of my own head.
Had you not had a problem I would not have the nead for the solution.
As Feynmann would say:
"...there is also an amplitude for light to go faster (or slower) than
the conventional speed of light. You Found out in the last lecture that
light doesn't go only in straight lines; now, you find out that it
doesn't go only at the speed of light! It may surprise you that there
is an amplitude for a photon to go at speeds faster or slower than the
conventional speed, c." Chapter 3, p. 89, QED.
If it were not for these planck-time uncertainties, Schwartz, the
virtual electron would be a little red rotating sphere composed of
imaginary fairy dust. Obviously, outside this scale the quantum
amplitudes quickly sum to c.
How can you make these sorts of fundamental errors and expect to carry
any credibility with a legitmit physics community? I recommend you
resort to your usual childish name-calling and try to save some grace
from your latest embarrassment.

imaginary fairy dust. Obviously, outside this scale the quantum
amplitudes quickly sum to c.
How can you make these sorts of fundamental errors and expect to carry
any credibility with a legitmit physics community? I recommend you
resort to your usual childish name-calling and try to save some grace
from your latest embarrassment.

As Feynmann would say:
"...there is also an amplitude for light to go faster (or slower) than
the conventional speed of light. You Found out in the last lecture that
light doesn't go only in straight lines; now, you find out that it
doesn't go only at the speed of light! It may surprise you that there
is an amplitude for a photon to go at speeds faster or slower than the
conventional speed, c." Chapter 3, p. 89, QED.
If it were not for these planck-time uncertainties, Schwartz, the
virtual electron would be a little red rotating sphere composed of
imaginary fairy dust. Obviously, outside this scale the quantum
amplitudes quickly sum to c.
How can you make these sorts of fundamental errors and expect to carry
any credibility with a legitmit physics community? I recommend you
resort to your usual childish name-calling and try to save some grace
from your latest embarrassment.
Does it matter?
An interesting point. Now the questions are as follows:
[1] In your opinion, is it measured *correctly*? If not, what
would be needed to correct it? If so, can you prove it,
or at least show good evidence? The best I can do, absent
experimentation, is an accuracy of 4 * 10^-9, using the
old Kr-86 measurement method (prior to the adoption of
the current one in 1983).
[2] Would it be of any benefit to define it in another form?
For example, one could evade the question to some extent
and simply define a "nil", which is the distance light
travels in a nanosecond. This would make lightspeed
1 nil/ns. I'm a bit of a fan of this definition, myself. :-)
[3] The original question was how to do the same with a kg.
I'm curious as to your method, here, if you happen to
have one. (I don't.)
[4] What problem are you trying to attack? Your page
http://users.adelphia.net/~lilavois/Crackpots/notorious.htm
isn't horribly clear on how to change the math in order
to avoid the crackpot/voodoo physics and erroneously
moving through spacetime (as opposed to merely moving
through space).
Here's a simple question, for example. A "stationary"
observer O (in a stress-free inertial reference frame)
is firing a laser beam of wavelength 500 nm at another
observer A, who is moving at a speed of about 3,000 m/s
(10^-5 c). What wavelength will A observe, according
to your theory?
A more complicated question involves a satellite firing
a pulse of a certain frequency onto the surface of
an idealized Earth. Assuming the orbit is perfectly
circular and spinning around the equator, and the
Earthbound station is at the equator, what wavelength
would the Earthbound station observe?
Another, slightly easier measurement might have to do with
the energy per photon, using a device that allows the
light to impinge on a surface, releasing electrons.
These electrons produce a current which can be monitored.
A very simple (if one has a particle storage ring)
experiment involves creation of moving muons and
observing how long they take to decay. But I digress.
[5] Would it be required to do anything to the meter? One could,
for instance define c = N phlegms / second, where a
phlegm is 299792458 / N meters. Or one could define
c to be M meters/balsnic, where a balsnic is
M / 299792458 seconds.
The main problem of course is that the rest of physics would
hvae to define lengths as phlegms in one regime, requiring
a number of conversions, or times in balsnics, requiring
a number of (other) conversions, or use conversion factors.

However, the speed of light is the same for all observers. This is
empirically verified. In fact, light speed is now a DEFINED constant. It
is EXACT.
