1 what? Cucumber per nanosecond?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

1 speed of light of course.

Light-second per second

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Actually, yes. Light travels about 30cm in a nanosecond, around the size of a cucumber.

Which is why I updated my comment from "banana per nanosecond", which itself was originally updated from "apple per picosecond" that I just put there randomly, without any thought.

Is there another way to measure the speed of light?
