It is a lie. The truth is the not only get different measurements from different labs, but from within individual labs. They did not like that so they fudged the methods, sorry I don't recall details, to falsely force "data" to match their predetermined number. Not unlike climate models.

The Snake Bros. discussed this in one of their podcasts.

I would typically debate you on that point, but, I agree that the number they offer is a bit janky and open to interpretation...

1. Light has to be in a near perfect vacuum to reach c.

Last I read, they slowed it down to a crawl through some kind of glass medium

The correct answer is actually "D", but thanks for playing...

186,000 miles/second is the currently accepted speed of light. And it's actually a law that nothing goes faster than the speed of light.

OK, Maybe more of a Scientific suggestion...
