Reality is defined as physicality, matter and energy. “Nothingness” or “emptiness” is NOT reality because it has no bearing on it, we can’t measure an amount of physical “space” or “time”, because they’re not physical objects, physical “realities”. They’re the absence of such. Literal “space” has no effect on space. Not a surprise that ‘nothingness’ has not effect on nothingness. Let me clarify once again: gravity doesn’t literally slow down Light by the way of physically “pulling” on the photon particles or however you might describe it, but rather, distort Reality (I call reality, reality, scientists call it “space-time”, I do not) itself and diverts and “bends” reality, which Light travels through. The space itself is distorted/warped with gravity “pulling” reality itself towards the singularity. Light merely travels in the straightest line possible from its source (think a laser) unless diverted by a material object (reflection) or curved by distortion of Reality (gravity). Non-Euclidean Geometry proves this point. Light travels in a straight line but appears to be curved from an outside observer. This is why black holes have Light discs around their event horizons, Reality being nigh-infinitely distorted, and therefore time, for Light to be able to be perceived as being slow (in reality, their true speed is Infinite). Kind of like when you watch a wheel/rim of a car in motion, sometimes it may appear to be spinning slowly, and sometimes in reverse, but in reality, it is traveling extremely fast. Or a fan spinning around very fast, but sometimes it appears to be going slowly. Same concept. If black holes bend Reality, then it will bend/curve the path of Light towards the it’s gravitational singularity. This is why spacial objects get slingshot around gravitational singularities, be it planets, stars, or black holes. It is just much more obvious in black holes due to their size and strength of their gravitational pull. All celestial objects bend and curve Light, by means of gravity. It is why the speed of Light (when reflected backwards to the sender) can be measured. The One-way speed of Light cannot be measured accurately within Reality (space-time) due to the Universal effects of ALL gravitational singularities in existence. It needs to be done in a vacuum and with no Reality (space-time) warping done by gravity. Don’t worry, unlike you I haven’t lost my imagination and conformed myself to false beliefs and “supposed truths” as you probably do. You derive your “objective” truths from whatever the scientific consensus is. I derive mine transcendentally. Did you just admit to your imagination as being “quashed” due to attainment of more knowledge? I don’t know but I hope to never be like that. Me personally? My imagination is derived from logic and knowledge and is the reason I do and why I ponder these things. I’d argue your imagination is one of if not the most important faculty when it comes to scientific thinking and understanding. Do you really think that all great scientific pioneers simply conformed to the scientific consensus of their times? Be it Galileo against geocentricism, or Einstein’s development of his theory of relativity, these all stemmed from their observations of reality, and their imaginations to expound from their observations.

The true speed of Light IS constant. My claim is that Light and Reality are co-dependent concepts. They aren’t separate from each other. Perception of reality itself can only be observed with physical mass/matter and energy. “Nothing” cannot be defined without the physical concepts of mass and energy (Light). Time, space, and gravity is derived from physical reality, without matter and energy, space and time cannot exist as ‘physical (anti-physical?) reality’. Lightspeed is inherently infinite, as it is reality itself. Reality and Light “just happens” or “just exists”. Lightspeed IS constant, and that unchanging speed/velocity or whatever you want to call it, is infinity. That’s what I’m saying. My argumentation is this: gravity is the warping of Reality itself. It “slows down” Light by warping Reality so much Light can be observed “travelling” from far enough distance away (where gravity is weaker relative to where that Light currently is). This is why “time is relative”, because Reality close to a black hole is so distorted and slow that it seems the rest of the Universe ages faster than the gravitational area and event horizon of a black hole. In other words, Light/Reality is not slow, it’s just that space-time (reality) is so distorted by gravity that makes Light appear slow (just under 300,000 m/s).

Care to enlighten me a bit more?

That the calculation and understanding of the speed of Light is wrong. The “theory” of relativity (it’s not a theory, it’s a fact of reality) is incomplete. We have incorrectly calculated the speed of Light. Or rather, the current numerical value cannot be blanket used across the board for the Universe. It can only be used in our local gravitational environment before it becomes insufficient and inaccurate the farther we get from Earth. The speed of Light is improperly measured. The speed of Light MUST be measured not only in a vacuum, but also UNDER NO GRAVITATIONAL INTERFERENCE. This way the true numerical value of the speed of Light can be measured. But, thus, this is actually impossible. It can only be theoretically realised, and cannot be physically conducted and experimented. That’d require it to be measured in a Universe that is COMPLETELY unaffected by gravity (gravitational forces are pulling every which way across the Universe, therefore obstructing the recording of the true numerical value). On that point though, in reality, the “expansion” of the Universe can still be solved. Again, in reality, the Universe is not just expanding, but contracting. The Big Bang needs to be renamed. It’s an outdated term. It should be the “Erratic Explosion” or the “Impossible Implosion”, something like that. In truth, the Big Bang was actually simultaneously and Implosion and Explosion. Truly miraculous (in the worst sense). Quantum Theory (again, not a theory, it’s just plain truth) proves this concept.

Sorry, for the first part, it was an honest mistake. I don’t know why I had written it as 300 million km/s but here we are. Lemme just change that to just under 300 thousand km/s. As for the second point, the issue is here is that to get an accurate and truly significant reading, you’d actually need to measure on the variation of the speed of Light, you’d need to measure (and physically record the readings at said location) many “light years” (probably thousands) away. This way we would know that Light travels at different speeds according to the locale in the Universe. 3rd point, the ONE WAY SPEED OF LIGHT is IMPOSSIBLE to measure. There is 0 theoretical method to measure it, because by its very nature, Light is INFINITE and ETERNAL (timeless). To be able to actually measure Lightspeed is a theoretical impossibility by its very definition. If we COULD measure Light, it would not be Infinite. Infinity by its literal definition means unlimited, un-finite, in-FINITE. The very antithesis of limitedness (finity?). Check out Veritasium’s YouTube video on this subject. On the 4th point you pointed out, I meant that light travels exponentially slower depending on the strength and magnitude of the gravitational force being acted upon it. For instance, the gravitational pull of a black hole will obviously have a greater effect on light than the gravitational pull of a star due to its size and mass. On the opposite end of this, the less gravitational forces acting upon Light (and if possible, none or 0), the speed of Light will exponentially approach Infinity (not possible due to the remnant gravitational force from the Big Bang, or rather there is no physical location in the Universe that is unaffected by gravity). My claim is that True Lightspeed is the speed limit of reality itself, not just “matter”. General relativity, and time dilation in the locales of black holes prove this fact. Event Horizons are the point at which black holes distort reality and space time enough to slow Light down just enough, which requires a nigh-eternal amount of time for it to be trapped there in the first place, until another nigh-eternal amount of time passes for that Light to be shot out of that black hole again at near Infinite (or rather, nigh-infinite true Lightspeed) for it to escape again.

The speed of Light is infinite. Light is the speed limit of reality itself. The Universe expands at the same speed as light, and the speed of Light varies depending on the gravitational forces affecting it, slowing it down tremendously. The speed of Light around our local gravitational field here on earth, our solar system, galaxy, and all gravitational forces in the Universe, slow down Light here on earth to what we know as that common measurement of 300,000,000km/s. True light speed needs to be measured in a vacuum and without any gravitational forces acting upon it, which is impossible, and the actual task of measuring it is simultaneously impossible. The one way speed of Light has never actually been measured, it is too fast to. Only when light is reflected/refracted (which in and of itself is an obstruction) can we measure it’s speed. Light speed varies depending on locale in the Universe, and goes exponentially faster infinitely depending on the lack of gravitational forces.
