The point is, what was the speed of light 2,000 years ago? What was it 10,000 years ago i
I think I threw up in my mouth...
You mean you're not sure? What, did you swallow it back down? I saw a guy do that with peaches once. I don't think he liked the idea. I think he was just being polite to the rest of us at the table.
EDIT: Wow! 201.
No, he's right to throw up. You asked an invalid question. Light isn't constrained by time, so your question is literally inapplicable.
The speed of light is a constant regardless of an observer's velocity, location, or a change in both. Regardless of whether I'm stationary or moving towards the speed of light, the speed of light will appear the same in both cases. Even if I'm going 99.9999% the speed of light, light would still appear to be going as fast as if I were stationary.
Furthermore, when we move or change location, our "time-frame" changes relative to everyone else. This is empirically verifiable. The faster you move, the slower you age relative to those who aren't moving. If you take two atomic clocks set to identical times and leave one stationary on the ground the other travels around Earth in a space shuttle, at the end of the flight you will notice that the once-similar clocks are now different. The clock that was on board the space shuttle will appear to have slowed down in time, and in fact it did relative to the stationary clock.
We experience time due to perceived changes in our relative spacetime location. The word "spacetime" exists because they are inseparable -- space is a function of time, and time is a function of space. Because changes in spacetime location are relative to the speed of light, we can conclude that light is transcendent of locality and whatever swathe of spacetime we happen to inhabit.
Phrased another way, your questions don't make sense because "2000 years ago" isn't the same for everyone. If you're moving at near the speed of light, 2000 years for you could be thousands or millions of years for me. In contrast, 2000 years for me could be a few seconds to you if you're moving at near light speed.
Stop making crap up when you don't know what you're talking about.
I still don't get what any of this has to do with throwing up...
At this point, I'd be surprised if you even know what throwing-up is.
Edit: Oh, it also totally throws a kink in the 6,000 year-old Earth theory. For someone now traveling at near light speed for a certain duration, to that person, 6,000 years ago to us is now for him.. Conversely, 6,000 years for that person might be, oh, say about 14 billion years for us, i.e. the extrapolated age of the universe based upon its observed rate of expansion from our locality.
Coming from you, that means... almost nothing. Oh wait. I used that line already, here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10630423.
Oh, I know. I've figured you out at last. You are a sleeper troll... smart enough to look scientifically good, and well-trained in the language so that you can twist things around.
Gotchya.

Twisting "what" around? Example?
Oh, right. You're never going to tell me.
Because you can't. Because you don't know how.
