How can we possibly know that c, for example, is exactly what it is? It's technologically impossible to measure the exact value of anything, since there's always some error, and in case it was derived from formula we can be only as sure about it's value as we are about the theory from which the formula are taken.
>Science of exact values
Unless defined from other variables (also subject do doubt), they are always to be doubted.
The end.

But then how do people know that c is exactly what it is?

Good question. It triggers me when autists say that pi goes on forever because obviously you can't measure it that exactly. Sure people have measured it up to the precision of the Planck length, but the rest of the digits are just theoretical and can't be known for sure.
Take a calculus class...values can be modeled with straightforward patterns. We can use those patterns to the highest precision necessary for any application. Also a scientific theory doesn't equate to an unprovable phenomena

>what are series expansions?
'c' is defined by 1 planck(space) per 1 planck(time)
which meansit is moving at the fastest possible speed imaginable for any substance in the universe if you understand anything about planck units and the "rough estimates" that HIGH SCHOOL teachers use are yes inaccurate so what's your point?

The speed of light is DEFINED as 299792458 m/s. In other words, a meter is whatever the speed of light is divided by 299792458.

Faggot, what is >any application? Gotcha, retarded fucking freshman. There's nothing worse than your kind: obnoxious ignorant fucking cucks who took a couple of "math for engineers 101" classes and think they know it all now.

One meter is defined as the distance light travels in 1/299792458th of a second, thus it's not the speed of light that's uncertain but the length of a meter.

Why not just 300 000 000 then?

How's high school?
