Hint:
If you *hope* to measure the speed of light as constant at a
point in space, there must be a structure (with charges)
near the point to tell the light what speed it should go. ;-)

No, the SOL is a function of the vacuum and in the strictest sense needs no
charges or particles to maintain its velocity. Practical consideration mean
that to measure it some particles will be present in the measuring apparatus
and in its generation but in transit the only thing required is a vacuum.

Sorry Sue I have been typing charges when meaning
potential for some time. Kick self in head much mortified.
Plead stupidity:-)

<< The quantity alpha, which is equal to the ratio v1/c where v1
is the velocity of the electron in the first circular Bohr
orbit and c is the speed of light in vacuum, appeared
naturally in Sommerfeld's analysis and determined the
size of the splitting or fine-structure of the hydrogenic
spectral lines.
