Answer 1

Miracles of Islam keep astounding me everyday of my life, deepening my faith. Thank you.

Answer 2

Actually nothing of a constructed mass structure of the Universe exists in the Universe. without a graviational field . The reference to the book called Koran was not written by an illitereate man. But by a group of approx 70 men.These men had access to several semetic writing as well as Hindous writings.Therefore there was understood that the nature light had been described before relativity theory and by Hindous sages as well as previous semetic Biblical writings..So What these 70 men copied was nothing new basically that was not known before.
Never the less the speed of light calculation is only relative to the motion of the moon and earth on the basis that the Universe is homogenous. In reality The Universe is not homogeneous; therefore, the pressure of space varies thruout the Universe.
Therefore the velocities of light cannot be there same at all parts of the Universe. In the same manner time is not describing how fast a process takes place the same way at different f radial values in the Universe. Proof of this is the observed expansion;the further away a galaxy is ,the faster its recession velocity.

Answer 3

I'm skeptical about the premise, here. There are several loose assumptions made to get from "1000 years of what you count" to the speed of light. The web site listed has some innacuracies, most notably the implication of the time dialation: perhaps it's 11% from the sun to the heliopause, but there's very little difference on Earth. That time dilation isn't anything mystical: it doesn't really exist from the frame of reference (Earth).

Even allowing the assumptions, what figure does that generate for the speed of light? Let's see ... a mean lunar distance of 384401 km times 2*pi times 12000 orbits divided by 86400 seconds in a day ...

I get 335453+ km/sec, significantly more than the speed of light in a vacuum. Even adding the improper 11% leaves the "estimate" nearly 1% short.

To me, this appears to be a long stretch to make points for Islam. To me, this loses points for whomever makes a fuss over the phenomenon, while Islam remains as it is: a valid, honorable philosophy by those who practice its tenets (note that this does not include those who intentionally harm innocents).

I've seen similar claims of prediction for various passages in the Christian Bible, which also suffer from supposition and construction after the fact (choose your manipulations to match the circumstances). Similarly, these do not detract from the core of Christianity; they're simply coincidences that don't stand up under scrutiny.

Answer 4

outside of graviataional fields. hahahaha. you are never outside3 of graviational fields, you cannot escape gravity, it is everywhere. so therefore that entire proof is bs. since it even says that it only works if you ignore that little thing of inconsequence known as THE SUN, which slows down lunar orbits.

all it is is religion trying to rear its head in a realm that it should stay out of.

the moon is not outside of the solar system so the whole thing is false, there is no proof. if these angels did move at the speed of light then how come the author never took into account the gravity of the sun?

the "proof" and i use that word exceedingly lightly in regards to this, is pointless since numbers are pulled out of nowhere and made to fit until the right answer is given.

i know that you are a lost cause, but others i hope will have enough intelligence to realize that this is as phony as can be, don't let religion blind you to science.

Answer 5

Religion is bad science, either from the Bible or the Quran. I checked your source and the quote from the Quran only describes the speed of angels, it says nothing about the speed of light. And the math does not add up. It simply does not give a correct speed of light. I suppose it could be a correct speed of angels though.

Answer 6

2 reasons: (a million) some human beings won't have the ability to think of any standards different than those they comprehend. (2) some human beings desire to come back up with as nasty an accusation as they are able to looking, for propaganda purposes, and of course the nastiness is predicated on on the instant's standards. the guy who says smugly that solid manners are the comparable everywhere and human beings are in simple terms human beings hasn’t been farther out of Podunk than the subsequent whistle quit. -- Robert A. Heinlein, "Glory street"

Answer 7

Simple coincidence.

That's not 'defining' the speed of light, because he never says 'this is how fast light goes'. You can't be defining something if you don't say what it is you're defining.
