The Quran and the speed of light : Islamic miracles investigated

UPDATE:
Someone ran a simulation using n-body (considered by many to be the de-facto standard on orbital simulation routines). The result was that the velocity of the Moon varied by +/- 0.06% depending on the position of the Moon as the Sun was removed. 0.06% is a mere 1/166th of the required 10% that the bogus cosine(26.928) removes.

The conclusion from the physicists on the forum was that this is merely numerology and has no basis in physics at all.

This video investigates the claim that the speed of light is indicated in The Quran.

Personally I'd have just written 299,792,458 as the first text in the book but no, apparently for some reason god (aka "Allah") decided to make it really quite convoluted - and also suspiciously fabricated.

Note: Try this simple sum

Hours in sidereal month * 12 months / 24 hours per day = Days in year.

655.71986 * 12 / 24 = 327.85993

There isn't a single calendar on Earth with only 328 days in a year, especially not the Islamic calendar. That's why Sidereal hours in a month * 12 is wrong.

===Idiotic comments===
"For example slowing the moon down by half should result in half of the speed of light." That's not true. The moon only slows down if ocean friction transfers Earth's rotational kinetic energy to the moon. The moon would recede and Earth day would increase but the ratio Lunar Orbits/ Earth Day remains unchanged.

the neutrinos are not faster than light,anyway the Islam remains a bloody religion for underdeveloped human being....

2) So for TheRationalizer to correctly make a comparison he has to do three things. He has to:

a) Define his frame of reference.

b) Prove that his frame of reference is inertial.

c) In this frame compare 12000 Lunar Orbits / Earth Day with 299792.458 km/sec.

The Rationalizer never defined his frame of reference. A comparison in an undefined frame is invalid.

[wormhole199]

1) 12000 Lunar Orbits / Earth Day depends on the frame of reference. You could define a million different frames and get a million different results!!! But 299792.458 km/sec is the speed of light in local inertial frames. So if you want to compare it with the speed of light in local inertial frames then you need to make the comparison in a local inertial frame.

@MegaSuperMang It's the Sylvia ballet suite plucked in a pizzicato fashion and the music is by Léo Delibes I think.

@dhimmiwit lol

@pendelum5 You'll have to learn more.

[pendelum5]

You seem quite clever. How do I know if you are lying?
