    • The speed of light is not dependent on the time of day.

    • yes, it is. At night it is dark, i.e., slow light. Day time it is light, therefore fast light.

    • The problem I have here is that this is all text rather than audio or video. Since you have not included any emoticons, I need to ask this. Are you really serious about this or are you just trying to pull our collective legs?

    • do you have collective legs? wow, must be hard to buy pants.
      and as for emoticons, I'd rather not. It gets in the way of my pulling your leg. Sorry.
