3. Bases on 2, the meter was REDEFINED as being
the distance covered by light in 1/299,792,458
seconds.

NO....the current defintion for light speed is
derived from the equation:
c= (detected wavelength)(detected frequency)

This is incorrect. It has been incorrect since 1983. You have been
notified it is incorrect more than once since you started spouting
outdated definitions. The correct definition is:
http://www.physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?c

This is a circular definition for the speed of light.

Since any length is c * time, your "definition" is a tautology.

But c is a definition based on past measurements of wavelength*frequency.

I don't expect this to faze you at all, as it never has. Asperger's
Syndrome is like that.

You are right.....I don't accept circular definitions.
