The speed of light is a measure taken over a gap of one meter in length (in a vacuum). It is commonly believed that during 1/299,792,458 ths of a second the light travels a distance of one meter.
This measurement is then converted to meters per second and we are told that the exact speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second.
However, this is not the speed of light as described above as it requires the light, (photons), to be in motion much like a train or bus.
What is measured is a time gap or a differential in time as determined by a linear measure of time, which does not require the light to be in physical motion itself in order for the measurement to remain valid and somewhat accurate.
What is required is the lapse of time as determined to be 1/299,792,458 ths of a second.
This means that within the localized condition of the vacuum chamber the observed reflection of light requires a lapse of 1/299,792,458 ths of a second over one meter.
What can be concluded from this is that a differential in time is required for any reaction or effect to be observed or recorded, but it no way indicates the actual physical motion of light from here to there or from here to there and back to here etc.
Light is a field effect just as an electromagnetic wave is a field effect and as it happens the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum is also found to involve a time differential of 1/299,792,458 ths of a second over one meter.
Where this gets completely out of control is when we make the assumption that the speed of light is universal and then assume that the constancy of light speed can be extended over millions and or billions of years allowing for light years to be applied in determining the age and size of the universe.
All this despite the dynamic nature of universe.
This measure of a time differential is limited to a single unified field system corresponding to the condition of universe remaining relative to our planet earth.
Using the same vacuum chamber on the moon or mars would give us a different time differential. On the moon we would measure an even shorter time differential.
As time itself slows with distance from the planet we would find that close to the outer boundary of the visible universe time had all but come to a complete stop.
This would indicate that our existing measure of light reflection would be extremely slow at this distance, so slow that it would appear that the measuring process would not be completed in a single life time.
And if light itself is not in motion in the manner of a train or bus, what exactly are we talking about when we refer to the constancy of light speed over millions or billions of years? Nothing of any real value it would seem.
We have made the assumption that the light of distant star systems and galaxies take time to travel through space to reach us in order to be visible. Yet we view these distant stars and galaxies at a distance.
Of course we do, because we are viewing a simultaneous condition of universe remaining relative to our planet earth. The universe is a field condition, a relative field condition to be exact and what we view is a field of frequencies of various values.
This is why a telescope is required to view distant galaxies as the telescope extends our view of the field condition.
Light has no linear speed limit because it is not itself in physical motion as is a train or a bus etc.
Keep in mind that the dynamic expansion of universe is a field response remaining relative to our planet earth which corresponds to the high (dynamic) energy level focused to the core of our planet.
Our perception of billions of light years is based on flawed assumptions, as there are no billions of years. We created the whole thing on the basis of one man believing the universe to be existing in a static state.
The worst blunder of his career he is quoted as saying. Why then have we continued to hold to a static state, as only a static state of universe would allow for the constancy of light speed over millions or billions of years if in fact light had a speed and there were billions of years available to count.
We have been stuck on this problem for far too long, it’s time to get over it and move on.
