Since E=mc^2, then the the speed of light would be square root of energy divided by an infinite mass. I'm no mathematician, but I'm pretty sure that any finite quantity divided by infinity is also infinite, so we're left with the untenable position than a known finite quantity is infinite.
I think.

It would be an infinitesimal:

Fair enough, but I think my point still stands. We KNOW what the speed of light is, and it is not an infinitesimal.
