That's the definition of a light year. It is the DISTANCE light travels in one year.

Remove light from the situation, is the distance affected any ? Does the distance need light at all to be a distance?

A distance is a distance, a light year is something else. , consider that and your Ai may improve.

I didn't invent the term 'light year', if that's what you're asking.
Neither did I invent the phone I'm typing this message on, nor the internet which allows me to put the message up for public consideration.
Why?

You inherited all those thoughts, is the phone in your hand even real?

How do you know it is real ? Just because you can feel it ?

Is feeling not a thought ?

We can create any arbitrary measure of distance that we want, and it doesn't require light. We could use the orbit of the Earth to measure a light year if we wanted to.

"The parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used to measure large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System. A parsec is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond,[1] which corresponds to 7005648000000000000♠648000/π astronomical units. One parsec is equal to about 3.26 light-years (30 trillion km or 19 trillion miles) in length."
Parsec - Wikipedia

A distance is a distance, a light year is something else.

Saying so does not make it so.

I think we would all agree that we would have to pretend reality doesn't exist for your arguments to make sense.

 

[james blunt]

This statement is true. Now, what is the relevance of that statement?

I can give many others:

-1 + 1 =0
-2 + 2 =0
-1.5 + 1.5 =0
-2 + 4 = 2
etc.

So?

By agreeing with my statement , is true, you have just agreed with my entire thoughts. You may not know you have agreed or understand in any sort of way why you have agreed, but that is because you have not been programmed in you Ai data base this new information.
The problem is , are you a unit that can process the new information? Many of you are not , you are unable to store new information in your data bases. Failing to be useful purpose to the matrix server.

 

[james blunt]

Saying so does not make it so.

Are you saying a distance is not a distance?

Why try to describe one thing , then paint it a different colour?

Why do you want to make blue , red?

1ly is not a distance because a distance is a distance. 1 ly is the TIME light takes to travel a distance.

 

[Thermos aquaticus]

I couldn't care less what mainstream garbage says it is , it is a time.

3.154e+7.s * 299 792 458 m = 1ly

Try again...

Just a note, the "m" in the equation above is a distance. You also have the equation wrong. It sould be:

3E8 m/s * 3.15E7 s = 9.45E15 meters

It's a distance.

So if I shoot a bullet at 500 m/s a light year would be the distance the bullet travels in one year?

I agreed with some simple math. The rest of your thoughts appear incoherent as ever.

A distance is a distance, a light year is something else. , consider that and your Ai may improve.

The speed of light is a standard one to use as a reference. It has the advantage that it is the same for all observers.

So no, light itself isn't required for this distance. Only the speed (2.99*10^8 m/s) and the time (3.15*10^7 s), which are multiplied together to give a distance (9.45*10^15 m). That distance is defined to be a light year.

 

[james blunt]

Well the particular maths I gave , is a part of my theory of everything, a main part. It proves an electrical Universe and everything is made out of relatively nothing.
Yes it is very hard to digest , I have unified all science and religion for my theory.

However the theory is interesting because after the abstract it is left blank. Because everything is nothing and nothing is everything .
By writing nothing, in affect I am writing everything.

of course, that simple equation proves none of this. It doesn't even suggest any of this.

The rest is still rather incoherent.

Just so we are on the same page, the speed of light (i.e. c) is 3E8 meters/second. To get a light year you multiple c by the number of seconds in a year which is 3.15E7. Just look at the units.

m
___ * s = m
s

The seconds cancel leaving you with meters. A ly is a distance. It's simple Jr. High math.
