Like I said, you don't even need to use synchrony convention to measure the value of "c", so why you would try and use this to argue against different conventions is beyond me.
BZZZZTTTTT!!!!!
And how much did you wager?
Oh, gee... you wagered everything. Well, thanks for playing, but you do get a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni!
It is incorrect to say that light has an AVERAGE speed in a vacuum. The speed of light in a vacuum is CONSTANT! IT DOES NOT CHANGE!
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?

Well, that's pretty much what he's been doing since he showed up here.

I've only been able to get on here about 15 mins at a time, so it will be a bit before I can produce a reply of any length.
I currently live in the northern reaches of Indiana in Middlebury (about 30~45 minutes from South Bend). Depending on a number of circumstances, I'll either be moving to California near Sacremento or Texas near Dallas.
I'm leaning toward going to Dallas because there are some strings to moving to Sacrimento that I don't want to deal with, but eitheir one has its benefits.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
