A video on YouTube. In Science & Engineering, a Krater category.

The video examines how the speed of light is defined and whether one-way speed of light can be measured, concluding that the one-way speed of light is unmeasurable and depends entirely on a synchronization convention.
From the video
Answers: Can we measure the one-way speed of light?
- speed of light
- special relativity
- Einstein synchronization convention
- clock synchronization
- one-way speed of light
- round-trip speed of light
What it concludes
- No one has ever measured the one-way speed of light.
- The one-way speed of light is essentially unmeasurable.
- The constancy of the speed of light in opposite directions is a convention rather than an empirically verified fact.
- Our inability to measure the one-way speed of light highlights how general relativity, quantum mechanics, space, and time are connected.
