We cannot directly measure the speed of light. However we can ask the little penguin that turns off the refrigerator light when you close the door.

In the article below. Can we actually measure the speed of light with our primitive equipment? Is light a wave or particle? I do not think it can be both. Is this a Shrodinger cat paradox? Can we ever create a "true" vacuum? Stay tuned for another episode of "NTSYSADMIN" solving the big questions of the 22nd century. ________________________________ Subject: RE: OT: Star Trek Science Fiction?

Well, there is entanglement. I don't remember reading about others, though. What were they? ________________________________ Subject: RE: OT: Star Trek Science Fiction?

Sorry the faster than light travel is at the math modeling level not the functional model level.

It will only be time before it is all true. Scientist are also working on faster than light travel and have two working models now.
