I know that the speed of light has been measured with great precision and used successfully in many calculations.
I just wonder why this specific speed. What is the deep reason?
I am aware that if the strength of the fundamental forces is not what they are, we Earthlings would not be here; we would not exist. Is there a link between these forces and c that imposes the speed limit to c?
I have heard of the Tachyon whose lowest speed is c, but has never been detected, so I tend to ignore it.
As a product of the above questions: What would happen to the universe if the speed of c is less or more than ~186,282 mi/s in the vacuum?
Also looking for Kilometers Per Second to Speed Of Light Conversion (km/s to c)
I would greatly appreciate your answers.
