    Interestingly, this could be true and you could never find out experimentally iirc.

    I watched a veritasium video about the 1 way speed of light vs 2 way that talked about it.

      I watched the same video!

      I was right about to disagree and type “wait this only applies to light” but then I remembered: radio is light.

      Crazy to think about that!

        It is nuts. It goes to show how far science goes proving things through deductions rather than direct observation. So much science is done that way.

        I think that there would be some infinite energy glitches if it was actually true that light was faster 1 direction than another, so I think the assumption is a good one. But still fun facts
