Speed of light - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In physics, the speed of light (usually denoted c ) is a fundamental physical constant, the speed at which light and all electromagnetic radiation travel in a perfect vacuum, which is 299,792,...

This makes the speed of light exactly 299,792.458 km/s. Since the inch is defined as 2.54 centimetres, the speed of light also has an exact value in non-metric units. This definition only makes sense because the speed of light in vacuum is constant;

"Based on this research, I expect a mission to accelerate a massive payload to a 'good fraction of light speed' will be launched before the end of this century," said Dr. Felber. "These antigravity solutions of Einstein's theory can change our view of our ability to travel to the far reaches of our universe." ;

The original measurements of the speed of light were done using rather long distances - one of the first used the difference in timing between the apparent positions of Jupiter's planets as seen from earth, according to whether the earth was on the same or opposite sides of the sun: the relevant distance there is...

Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity describes the motion of particles moving at close to the speed of light. In fact, it gives the correct laws of motion for any particle. This doesn't mean Newton was wrong, his equations are contained within the relativistic equations.
