Since the speed of light has already been determined, I really doubt that I would win the Nobel Prize.
Quote:Again, I am afraid you don't know what you are talking about. C is obtained by directly measuring the round trip travel time for light and dividing the distance by two, which of course is what those of us who speak English call an average!
You can call it an average if you want, but what you're doing here is simply measuring the speed of light, because.... THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS CONSTANT!
Quote:This average value is the same no matter what convention you use,
EXACTLY! Because the speed of light does not fluctuate! It's a CONSTANT, not an AVERAGE!
Quote: I am not the least bit shocked you would not know this though; you don’t even accept the well established historical fact of Jesus’ existence.
"Well established historical fact"? Like I've said before, show me ANY first hand accounts that mention "Jesus" during his alleged lifetime. Oh, yeah. You can't. I don't accept unsubstantiated tales as true without strong evidence. You, on the other hand, believe that the planet is less than 10,000 years old. Which flies in the face of ALL evidence. You believe the Grand Canyon was carved in a matter of days by Noah's Flood. Which flies in the face of ALL evidence. You believe people living in a place that was unknown to Europeans had knowledge of a European deity. Which flies in the face of ALL evidence.
Who is the one that does not accept "well established historical fact"?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
