You're right! I totally missed it, what a silly - and huge! - mistake! Thanks, Gonelli.. I am correcting it in the post. You are ABSOLUTELY right. The speed of light is 3.0*10^8, and not 300*10^8 - there's a consistently missing dot there. Quite a big mistake... good that you caught it :) … oh my god! You’re right!

But isn't the speed of light about 3.0*10^8 m/s, not 300*10^8 m/s ? Great video, I loved the experiment. But isn’t the speed of light about 3.0*10^8 m/s, not 300*10^8 m/s ?

If you use your brain to do some thinking, the world is at your feet” I try, but what to do if I am stupid? I still don’t know whether light in your experiment are Dirac photons or Maxwell (HBT) waves. Mooeypoo:” lots of thanks to Daniel, who helped me out with English, jokes, and a decent way of combining the two.” Don’t mention it! Daniel. In place of deer, I would use consciousness (my brain).

You're right, the speed of light is not exactly 300*10^8m/s (I wrote the actual one in the video), but for the sake of simplicity I used the simpler one. I did correct, however, and added "approximately" ;) Thanks! Hey Sharkey, thanks for the comment.
