Alright, let me try out an example of the Stripe Geometry Method that
yields the speed of
light purely from mathematics, because the speed of light is related
to the symmetry breaking
of Euclidean geometry into its dual geometries of Elliptic unioned
Hyperbolic. The sphere with
meridians represents Elliptic geometry and the Logarithmic spiral of
the golden rectangle
represents the Hyperbolic geometry. The meridians represent distance
and the Log spiral
represents time. So that no matter what sphere we can compute the
length of the sum total
meridian stripes and divide by the length of the Log-spiral and end up
with a speed of light.
The width of the stripes for the meridians is the same units in which
we want to compute the
speed of light.

Let me use the Earth as a sphere (not its oblate sphere) and using
Earth's circumference as
40,000 km. So the width of the meridian stripes is in km wide. So for
one meridian I have a
distance of 4 x 10^4 km and since there are 4 x 10^4 such meridians
the total distance of all
these meridian stripes is 16 x 10^8 km. Now the distance of the
Logarithmic spiral as time is
about 5 x 10^3 km from 70 degree north to 70degree south latitude.

So here I have dividing the meridian stripes by the log stripe, I end
up with 3 x 10^5 km/sec.

Now if I did the same thing with miles per second, I end up with the
speed of light in miles
per second.

Now there is still one bug above. I have not yet reconciled time in
seconds rather than in distance for the Log spiral. But I think I can
hold one of the parameters fixed in seconds
without loss of generality in the proof. What I mean is that the Log
spiral merely has to
intersect the meridians.
