Discussing about physics needs years long reflection about what physical constants mean and how these interrelate and are measured. Further we must understand that all current still hyped models have been developed with marginal experimental knowledge. If somebody believes that e.g. QM is a

Well, yes in theory it could be infinite as I explained but I didn't say that. And I don't think it is likely to be that we are moving in effect infinitely fast through the Aether. What astronomers teach is an assumption. On Sun, 12 Nov 2023 at 10:22, H L V wrote: > In the video by Veritasium

In the video by Veritasium he says the one way speed of light could in principle be infinite and that there is nothing to stop us from saying we are seeing the distant stars as they are now rather than as they were hundreds of years ago. He states this without mentioning the fact that this

I didn't say it can be infinite, I just said the 2 way speed only has to average to C. Now, I guess it could be infinite if you were moving infinitely fast, then the speed of light the other way would be half C to make the round trip C. But moving infinitely fast seems problematic. On Sun, 12

Also if the speed of light depended on direction would it even be possible to establish a reliable communication link between a transmitter and a receiver which are moving at different inclinations and at different speeds? Harry On Sat, Nov 11, 2023 at 1:19 PM H L V wrote: > > If the one way

If the one way speed of light can be infinite then there would be no rational basis for claiming that when we look deeper and deeper into the universe we are looking further and further back in time. Harry On Wed, Nov 8, 2023 at 3:28 AM Jonathan Berry wrote: > If you ask most people, most
