It maybe my bad luck that the circumference of Earth just fits almost
perfectly band strips
circumference and the formula 40,000 km x 40,000 / 5,000 sec to give
the speed of light.
But in another evaluation, it maybe my good luck that Earth fits the
numbers almost
perfectly, in order to explore this pattern.

I was hoping to find a factor to make it also true for different size
circumferences such as
for Mars or Moon. No luck here.

I am thus having to backtrack.

I like the idea that light is constructing the geometry of the object,
so that a single light
wave builds the surface of Earth in 40,000km x 40,000 / 5,000 seconds.
Now I can
change units of measure such as in miles/second and it will still
work, but if I change different
sizes of circumference the scheme falls apart.

Unless, however, there is only one circumference size that matters in
all the Universe and
every other circumference size is irrelevant. Now it is not going to
be the Earth circumference,
but something very fundamental such as perhaps the circumference of
the 5f orbital.

For instance, instead of Earth, the radius outward from the nucleus to
the 5f orbital of
plutonium. The Bohr radius is about 10^-11m, so is the radius out to
the 5f in plutonium
on the order of 10^-9 meter? Then a formula such as N x N / (1/8N)
could work. And here
the negative exponent is reversed out of symmetry. So that we get a
speed of light
as 3 x 10^-9 m/s and we take the inverse.

Unless I can wrestle my way out of this, I will have no pure math
derivation of speed of
light.

The idea that the speed of light as a construction of geometry of
something fundamental as the light wave travels up and down each
strip, so the
number of revolutions around something, building and constructing that
something in a second of time is a mighty tempting goal. If it does
not pan out, then I have to admit defeat on
this project. But I am optimistic and I think the idea of light as a
builder of the geometry
is a very good idea. It enhances the idea that light is a disturbance
in the EM field.
