I believe that this fallacy has recently been whipple-whappled. Indeed
recent observations of the arrival of radiation from black holes
preposterously-far away seems to indicate that regardless of the medium, c
is c, unless it's before i...or something.
Hi from Brittany,
Mikey,
BTW, is fortnight still used in jolly old Mother England?
Fortnight is still used in jolly Old Mother England,
and at least is pertinent (ie fourteen nights = 2 weeks).
In France, they can't count proper like we do !
Two weeks = 15 days (quinze jours)

I think it was in my junior high school physics class that we we were
given the exercise of calculating the speed of light in furlongs per
fortnight.

Of course we use the word 'fortnight'! What an odd question.
I similarly use acres, furlongs and guinees. I absolutely REFUSE to work in
metric weights and distances which remain completely meaningless to me. I
also use the word 'twelvemonth' from time to time, as in I haven't seen him

Well, acre is still the standard in the colonies, and of course we use
furlongs when discussing ponies.

And I measure the amount of silly messages I have written of this sort
in Bristol barrels.

That assumes that the medium remains constant, and that there are no gravity
wells nearby. Also, some scientists believe that the density of space time is
not a constant, so it's all relative anyway. I think I would have failed your
Jr High physics class just by virtue of pissing off the
