$50 for the Speed of Light

Thank you for posting something we already knew, he wants an alternative CHEAP way to measure it.

i must of messed it up when I edited it, my bad :-\

Hmm so if light from the sun takes 8 minutes to reach earth, that means your seeing the sun as it was 8 minutes ago......... what if you went to the sun and watched the earth.....you would be looking into the past by 8 minutes right? what if you went farther away you'd be looking into the past!!

Shit, I thought you were gonna give someone $50 to tell you the speed of light, which everyone knows is 3x10^8.

Obviously. I can read.

Well, no money for you. The speed of light is 299,792,458 METERS PER SECOND. Leaving the unit out is like leaving your sanity out. And precision is good, too. Precision that clearly didn't exist in your attempt to make any sense.

Then you're hardly precise, they've measured the speed of light to as far as the 30th digit.
