Is the speed of light affected by the gravitational fluctuations mentioned in the article?
Or, put another way, is the speed of light only a constant because we measure it in constant gravity?
- delecti 11y agoAny observer will observe the same speed of light in their location. Any effect of gravitational fluctuations in spacetime on the speed of light is a bit like a car driving on a race track that has treadmills scattered around it pointing in various directions and speeds. The car's speedometer will always read the same value because it's measuring the speed of its tires on whatever it's driving on.
