By the way, speed of light in the other thread is way off. The "accepted
constant" is bogus. The average speed is actually closer to 2.4 million
kilometers per second.
You'd better cite your source and / or reasoning, as ~3*10^8m/s =is= the
accepted constant speed of light in vacuum.
Yes indeed. Also, the word 'average' makes the statement pretty
meaningless without specifying how the averaging is done (different
materials I think?).

OK, I'll bite on this. Check www.nist.gov. They occasionally update
the fundamental physical constants, but we are talking about incredibly
small amounts.
