Small nitpick: the speed of light is exactly 299,792,458 m/s. That's because since 1983, the definition of a meter has been re-defined as the distance light goes in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458th of a second. There are no more refining measures of light.

This is going too late for me; I've got to wake up somewhat early. Pleasure talking with everyone.
