No I didn't, he's a fucking liar.

The constant velocity of light 's' (in a vacuum, relative to the source) is
299,792.4562 kilometers per second, plus or minus 1.1 meters per second

Plus or minus observer velocity, in non-SR theory. (Note: this figure
according to Google is from a 1972 experiment, the last known experiment
prior to standardization of the meter in 1983 using the
(erroneous?) SR definition of lightspeed as the basis.)


I don't know where Ghost got that idea that c represents light velocity,
Einstein used Geschwindigkeit V. It must be a problem in translation.

Among other things. In any event c=0/0 can be any value at all.


I'm not sure there's a lot I can do. If light's velocity is 0 or 0/0
(it isn't, that is the value of c and I'm not entirely sure which in Ghost's
pet
theory, quasi-pet-theory, assumption space, or thinking-pattern),
he's either having to struggle with MATHEMATICS

I think it must be dyslexia, he cannot distinguish the letter 'c' from
the letters 'l-i-g-h-t-s-p-e-e-d'.

:-)

Fair enough. What letter would you prefer? For that matter, how did you
want to measure lightspeed? The standard meter in Evenson's
1972 experiment was presumably based on 1650763.73 wavelengths of Kr-86.)
