Pretty sure light speed is finite as you can bounce lazers off distant objects (Moon) and record the time it takes for the return of that light. That has nothing to do with the sensors being slow, but rather the distance being traveled.But we are coming back to the issue of the detectors again because we still have to rely on them to take the measurements.
its called a telescope and your eyes.the reflector is still up there.it hasnt moved .yet,high zorgon. 8)I am sure you are aware that even our eyes and the brain needs time to process the light signals. So we are not really seeings things as they happen but as they happened.
I think you're attempting to prove a negative. If you're not accepting detection methods as accurate, then you can never measure anything. Your speculation remains speculation because nothing can prove your theory.I am not saying detection methods are inaccurate or unacceptable, what I am saying is that science has not provided absolute evidence that light has finite speed and that other paradigms could be just as valid.
If my speculations prove to be correct, I wonder what will happen to Einstein's famous equation: E=mc squared?
in an absolute vacuum,theres no such thing as a absolute vacuum.so his equatuons are off by just a little .thats why faster than light travel may be possible.How can something be in something that doesn't exist in the first place?
for what its worth, light doesnt travel at all, it occurs as a result of field interactions.Bingo, as Matrix would say.
It is ONLY seen as being huge, by the Interpretation of what is Producing its Images.
Well that's kind of what i mean, 'distance' just like 'velocity' or 'time' have no real meaning, they are just ideas we use to try & visualise things we really don't understand, LOLSpeaking of visualization, we look at the world in 2D do we not? You know..X-axis, Y-axis. But can we really see the z-axis? 3D
If my speculations prove to be correct, I wonder what will happen to Einstein's famous equation: E=mc squared?Ahhh, good fun for the mathheads here.....what happened to Einsteins equation? Stephen Crothers happened, thats what! :)

The only way we perceive the 3rd dimension is if we feel it with our hands or see it in 2D in perspective form. Maybe 3D is just an illusion, a trick of perception and the world is actually only 2D?
That would mean that there is no actual "depth" to anything and that distance really doesn't exist.

Light is nothing but electromagnetic energy. Electric magnetic energy is electromagnetic waves and these waves are frequencies. Frequencies can be bend by force fields like gravity. Light that travels through space is subject to the gravity of stars, galaxies, planets, moons and asteroids. Basically every object with mass has its own gravitational force. Light is therefore never at a constant speed. In fact gravity pulls at electromagnetic and this cause the waves to stretch. By doing so the frequency of the waves or wavelength stretches and the frequency becomes lower and the waves travel slower as the path is longer.
Light speed only is constant when light is not affected by gravity. In our universe this is never the case.
i believe the tech you talk of is the same tech that can make invisibility.
or rather any mass that occupies it, for without mass, does gravity even exist?What i mean is, gravity is independent of mass, just as electric charge is, if the latter is proven true (as it was) then the former must be true also. Logical, captain.
Has anyone ever thought about nebulosity, plasma effects and water which is throughout the universe and how it makes an anomaly such as gravitational lensing seem plausible?
A weak force such as gravity bending light to me does not make sense, but then Im no mainstream astrophysicist.
Light occurring in nebulous features and being observed through water which is supended in the plasma of space makes much more sense to me, perhaps I am wrong, but thats what I would look at.
Heres something that might be applicable here....
