Light travels at a set speed whether it is in a straight line or a zig zag. The speed would not be increased by going straight.

The speed of light including the zig zag.

in accordance to the e book, "this is Raining Frogs and Fishes,"by using Jerry Dennis, lightning bolts return and forth at hurries as much as ninety 3,000 miles according to 2d. that's especially darn quickly. What we see as a unmarried lightning flash is definitely quite a few lightning bolts that persist with one yet another so immediately that our eyes see in simple terms a unmarried flash.

Lightning dosen't really zig zag, but it might be the speed of light

I don't think the speed of lightning is affected by the zig zagging.

It does not matter if it ziggs or zaggs. It travels at the same speed. Which just so happends to be the same speed as light travels- 186 thousand miles per second. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE

But it doesn't always zigzag... and I sure that someone has clocked it check College and University web-sites

maybe it zigzags because that is the fastest course. say there was a dense area of neutrinos that got in it's way, it had to circumvent it to find the fastest route. your question is a good one, because it does make you think.

It would be the same speed. It just wouldn't take the scenic route.
