Part 7/10:
The Elusiveness of Light Measurement
Despite these advancements, measuring the one-way speed of light remains unattainable due to synchronization challenges between clocks. To accurately measure such speed, one would need to synchronize two clocks—something that inherently incorporates the light speed assumption. Attempts to set aside the average measurement either inadvertently validate this assumption or lead to theoretical dead ends.
This enigma points us toward a cosmic reality: while all objects continuously move through space-time at the speed of light, our conceptual understanding remains imperfect.
