I am no physicist , plus I don't have a College degree, but how would one know if the speed of light from the moon is different in a particular moment or direction? How can we measure that?
As I understand it, the point is, that it could be different, but we have no way of knowing it, we would percieve it in the same way, if it was the same or not. Either way, I don't see why would the moon seem to travel faster, the light that reaches your eye is more or less perpendicular to the moon's orbit, so why would it change its "tangetal" speed? It would just mean that you would see the movement on the "fast" side instantly and on the "slow" side with a delay of the distance divided by the half of speed of light (presuming the most extreme case), the speed of information wouldn't change the speed of movement itself.
Well, as the moon was traveling towards the angle where light is the fastest (instant (extreme case)), would not the continously reflected light reach earth faster and faster? Would that not give the illusion of a change in speed? 🤔
@@JoelGustafsson Yeah I see what you mean, the way I imagine it, it would even out in the bounce, lets say that it goes from the sun to the moon on the fastest angle, but it has to bounce backwards for us to see it, so it goes on the slowest one. But yeah, I don't know, I'm not a physicist, it's just how I imagine it :)
@@miskolinaccc If you have a light emitter on the moon that goes on and off with a precise interval, would you not see a change in frequency as the light apporaches instant travel time (extreme case) during that time of month?
@@JoelGustafsson I feel that even in the most extreme of circumstances even half of the speed of which light travels is perceptively unfathomable (not mathematically) , as long as the intervals remain constant. A smaller scale example of this (off the top of my head) is when you watch someone consistently clapping from from 100 meters away, you see their hands collide consistently, but the sound has a obvious delay due to sound having to travel through the medium of air to be perceived. Light of course changes through different mediums as well (water, air) but 99% of the time that the light of the moon is traveling, is through the vacuum of space. Personally I believe as long as the Lumen threshold of the Sun remains constant, or in your case Light emitter, no matter if its transitioning to instant and extreme, the difference in overall speed would probably be infinitesimal, let alone perceivable.
Dude, hair sure is very weird. I guess our bodies are nowhere perfect. He looks good, I dunno about the shaved head, maybe, maybe not. I can't picture it honestly.
Its kinda missleading, yes the speed of light has the same relative speed in all directions. The keyword is still relative, since we are moving in a non ending cosmos, the light from our perspective moves as fast in any direction but from a cosmic perspective it moves faster to the way we are moving
Its also worth mentioning that light can switch from traveling in particles to traveling in wave formation (depends if it is observed or not/ double slit experiment) it technicly travels at multiple different speed at the same time, it even gets worsr when you add all together, gravity, time, cosmos and the so called fourth dimension. And since light doesnt observe time (since there is no time at lightspeed) the measure is measured in our cosmic perspective so we would never know for sure
@@Driller12My understanding is that everything you say is true, however... This video is a direct response to a video Veratasium made ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pTn6Ewhb27k.htmlsi=uNOVi58Zb8uYkiDo ) claiming that the speed of light might be faster in one direction and that we could never meassure that. My video is a response with a thought experiment with an idea on how it possibly could be meassured. I know my idea is wrong, but I don't know how. I would like someone to explain it to me.

Joel how did you get monetized videos on copyrighted music? i want to use some music on my own channel in videos for entertainment purpose thanks in advance.
