It has nothing to do with space rather C is more correctly defined as "the speed of massless particles in a vacuum". Which are forced to travel at this velocity as a result of not having any mass. |

BTW I have decided that whilst I admire and wish for Marxian economics and democracy, it can never happen, people are simply to self centred and no amount of culture change will su... |
