“Perfect” Light Speed available with miniscule adjustment to the Second or the Meter Definition
Currently the speed of light in a vacuum is just a hair under 300,000 kilometers per second (more precisely 299,792,458 kps). “In 1983, the metre was redefined in the International System of Units (SI) as the distance travelled by light … Continue reading
