So the speed of light is pretty close to 299,792,458 metres per second in a free and perfect vacuum, but how close we still don't really know.
The good news is that for all practical purposes the 299... Million metres per second is good enough....for now.
The bad news is that if we start formulating more and more theories that rely on the speed of light being 299...Million metres per second, they may, just may, be a little off.
Aint that a kick in the head?

Damn sweet post
SO if we take the premisseof Lil' old Albert of a specific environment speed of light, and the whole thing about the time bubble effect, would't that brinhg the speed of light barrier to a sound barrier-like frontier, with a sort of "light-Boom"? Before breaking the sound barrier some said that a human who would passit wouldn't be able to hear too, so if one breaks the light barrier. maybe it all turns black except for the bodies travelling at the same speed
