Albert Einstein's theory of the speed of light, which has believed in humanity since its appearance in 1905 was not correct, was reversed. Researchers have found that the real speed of light is much lower than the miracle speed that we believe for more than a hundred years.
According to Einstein's theory, the speed of light in the vacuum is 186282 miles per second (about 300,000 kilometers per second), but the new study found that Einstein was wrong, and that this speed is exaggerated, because the real speed of light is less
Hi @agdali
Thanks for your comment.
It was not Albert Einstein who calculated the speed of light, but a Danish astronomer called Ole Røhmer back in 1642 by measuring the the time it took for one of Jupiter's moons (Io) to appear from the backside of Jupiter. The time of the occultation wearies by the distance between Earth and Jupiter.

The video you are linking contradicts what you are trying to get across by the way.
