Speed of Light




Of course the speed of light is now know to infinite precision, as the meter
is now defined as a certain fraction of the distance that light travels in a
second. Namely
10^ (-299792458) of a second. This was adopted in 1983. "I interpret this
as basically pushing all the uncertainty in c, into the uncertainty that
there already is iin a meter"
