Re: A. Einstein and science-fairs

----- Original Message ----- >
As to the second part of your comment. What would happen if someday we
detected a
change in the speed of light based on an accepted definition of time and
an accepted
definition of length (of course that length would have to be something
other than the
meter)? Which would be wrong the clock, the measure of length or the
accepted speed
of light?

Everyone who has lived 3 decades or more knows quite well that time is
speeding up. Therefore it's the clock that has changed (not necessarily
wrong...just changed). ;-) ;-)
