It’s not popular with the arrogant science crowd, but the objective truth is that we don’t know the speed of light.
We know the 2 way speed of light, as in “what our instruments show as the send/return speed of light” but it’s entirely possible that there is no 1 way speed limit. If the double slit quantum experiment proves anything, it’s that the nature of the universe is so weird that in 100+ years time our current model of everything might be as laughable as “the Earth is the center of the Universe and we’ll burn you at the stake for saying it’s not.”
Truth be told, we just don’t know shit and most of our models are simply repeated observations of things we can’t necessarily prove.
We’re just turkeys waiting for Thanksgiving IMHO…if you know, you know. If you don’t, read the Three Body Problem trilogy.
