| Jul 24, 2023 at 2:53 | comment | added | naturallyInconsistent | The value of $c$ is $3\times10^8\,$m/s so $c^2=9\times10^{16}\,$(m/s)$^2$ i.e. you are missing 6 orders of magnitude or something. But it really does not matter. The actual thing that matters is that if you wish to understand the Special Theory of Relativity, you should be measuring time in light-metres, and if you do so, then all 4 measurements are using the same units, and it no longer makes sense to ask what happens if different regions of spacetime have different speeds of light. Even if it is different, no experiment can tell that they are different. | |
