1. Reality Cannot Be Infinitely Dense
Infinite density would violate information preservation and prevent existence.
Reality must, therefore, be discrete, progressing in finite steps through both space and time.
2. Fundamental Movement of Light
Light propagates as waves, requiring movement t...
And yours is arbitrarily derived from the fact that humans have 10 fingers and measure things in metres and seconds. The only universal value for the speed of light, ignoring arbitrary human units, is 1.
I think it is also worth mentioning that if your computed value for the speed of light has an error of 0.02% compared to the measured speed of light, then your computed value is simply wrong by 0.02%. We have measured the speed of light much more accurately than that.
In fact, we measured it so precisely that nowadays the metre is defined as the distance light travels in 1/c seconds. So in some sense the speed of light is known perfectly accurately and cannot be measured, and any error when attempting to measure it is really an error in your metre or your second.
The idea that physicists might have gotten the speed of light wrong by 0.02% is almost as laughable as the idea that mathematicians might have gotten pi wrong by 0.02%.
Dear @kaya3 you are not challenging us, you are challenging your own intuition. The onus falls on you to reconcile this supposed "coincidence". We are not theorists, we are REVEALERS..
For example, pi^2 / 3 is a very close approximation to Rydberg's constant, with an error of about 0.0008% - much better than your result, and I'm sure if you put your mind to it you could tell just as fanciful a story about why pi^2 / 3 is a very natural calculation to do. But likewise, we have measured Rydberg's constant precisely enough to know that it is not pi^2 / 3, it is different by about 0.0008%.
As I said, c = 1 in natural units, is certainly not equal to your calculation in units of m/s, and could equal anything you like if humans were to choose different units than metres and seconds. c could equal pi if we wanted it to, but we don't. No explanation is needed for the fact that you can combine arbitrary numbers together in an arbitrary way and get a close approximation for c; on the contrary, an explanation would be needed if the number 299,735,540 did have some cosmic significance, because this number really just describes the units of "metre" and "second" invented by humans.
It does not appear that I have had any trouble reconciling with your observation, since there is no other observation which it would need to be reconciled with anyway.
