Speed of light

[Omniskeptical]

This is called question begging and appeal to authority, both of which are fallacies.

We have measured the TWO-WAY speed of light, and "c" is how we've defined the result.

What we're trying to determine however, which has NOT been measured, EVER, is the ONE-WAY speed of light, from a source to the first object that the light encounters.

It gets complicates things when you have two opposing Poynting Vectors. "c" is also a rotational force in electricity, and may very well be electricity speed.

[Emily Litella] What's all this I hear about the speed of light? Why is nobody ever talking about the speed of heavy!!! [\Emily Litella]

The preview doesn't work on TOL, so you have to click the link to see the speed of heavy.

The speed of bouncing atomics. Since photons only have energy, and no mass, they don't really travel but are point-to-point. There is no proof that light has a lag time.

It is possible to measure the two way speed of light... and it's not instantaneous.

You haven't studied Electromagnetics. There is no 2 way speed, and electricity has coincidently a speed limit of c.

My degree is in Electronic Engineering Technology.

Apparently you do not know what you're talking about.

I have seen Engineering Electromagnetics books, you haven't. I also have this degree for whatever it is worth.

You claim knowledge that you do not have. You do not know what I know or do not know.

Again, it sounds like you do not even understand what is meant by "the 2 way speed of light".

Mr. KnowItAll, you're not so smart. But your arrogance is off the charts.

Thanks. I'll quit talking to you.

I blame you for an hour of wasted time. I watched the Fridge video and then there were several videos on Larry Bird's trash talking skills. As good of a basketball player as he was he was far better at trash talking. He knew just how to get into his opponent's head.
