  • Chasing Light: The Unsolved Mystery of Its True Speed

    Chasing Light: The Unsolved Mystery of Its True Speed
    Feb 20 2025
    What if we’ve never actually measured the one-way speed of light? In this episode, we explore the deep-rooted assumptions behind Einstein’s synchronization method and the experimental challenges of determining whether light truly moves at a constant speed in all directions. From GPS-based measurements to ring laser experiments, we unravel the complexities of how light behaves—and whether our understanding of it is shaped more by convention than by fundamental physics. Join us as we shine a light on one of the greatest unresolved questions in science!
