Can't believe I am the first to post this one...To Seek usually beats me to these

p.s. Now watch that I missed that thread he started somewhere

(edited for incredibly embarassing typo in the subject!)

Uhhhh it says not slowing!

Edit: Uhhhhh I am an idiot. Thought the tittle said now slowing.

Bah. There was me hoping to get some macroscopic quantum object fun.

So how fast does the speed of light travel? ops:

A near enough figure is 300,000 kilometres per second.

That means light (or a radio signal) takes about 1.3 seconds to go from the Earth to the Moon, or just over 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to the Earth.

No no no. That's the speed of light you've given. The quote from the article refers to the rate at which the "speed of light" travels. That's a whole nother (BAD) question. -hence the ops:

Erk! :roll:

I'd like the title to be "Special Relativity cultists test underpinnings of their religion for the umpteenth time" :wink:

...and the name of the song is called... :wink:

I suppose the speed of light could travel at the speed of light, if encoded as information on a modulated radio wave. But unless the folks on the receiving end know how we encode information, it may take them a bit longer to figure out what we're trying to say! :P
