There is a request, submitted by ScientistBuilder ( talk)ScientistBuilder ScientistBuilder ( talk) 17:18, 29 January 2022 (UTC), for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia. The rationale behind the request is: "The speed of light is central to physics fields including the Big Bang Theory, special relativity, general relativity, spectroscopy, optics, as well as real world applications such as signal processing and GPS networks". |

I think the Michelson-Morley experiments should be added in this wiki. Please adivse. 82.174.79.67 ( talk) 21:40, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
The speed of light is approximately 300,000 kilometres per second; 186,000 miles per second; 671 million miles per hour. The metric measurement should include 1.08 billion kilometres per hour, to be consistent with metric and imperial examples. Eiger3970 ( talk) 07:36, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Connections with electromagnetism
In the 19th century Hippolyte Fizeau developed a method to determine the speed of light based on time-of-flight measurements on Earth and reported a value of 315000 km/s (704,634,932 m/h).
His method was improved upon by Léon Foucault who obtained a value of 298000 km/s (666,607,015 m/h) in 1862. Kailandosk ( talk) 01:06, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
186282.3970512 mi/s, to be fairly accurate.
