All you've done is take a meaningful statement about the speed of light and replace the word 'light' with the word 'time'. So you're saying light = time? Seems rather meaningless.Domenico Mico said:further, if the second of an ordinary clock is understood to be a time-second, we may then say that "the speed of time is 299.793 kilometres per second in vacuum".
This seems even worse.Over and above, we may want to express ourselves with a unit measure for radial expansion rather than linear extension and say in a much more appropriate way: "the speed of time is 299.793 kilocycles per second in vacuum, or better still 299.792.458 cycles/sec per second".

the way you put it is well and truly meaningless. I would have said: c=space to conform to the linear extension implied by <kilometres per second in vacuum>.

Doc Al) Over and above said:It is here to conform to the radial expansion implied by <cycles/sec per second> that you should have put your c=time.
However, I did not mean to get involved this way. I was merely elaborating on a statement made by mack_10, actually a discerning statement which went to the core of the question asked by bakenoor.
Time is a concept used to measure the duration of events or the intervals between them. It is a fundamental aspect of our universe and is closely related to the concept of space. The perception of time can vary due to factors such as our physical and mental state, our surroundings, and the activities we engage in. For example, when we are engaged in an enjoyable activity, time may seem to pass quickly, while when we are bored or in pain, time may seem to pass more slowly.
According to the theory of relativity, the speed of light is the maximum speed in the universe. This means that time cannot move faster than the speed of light, as it is closely linked to space and light. However, the concept of the "speed of time" is still a topic of debate and further research is needed to fully understand its limitations.
The concept of time travel has been explored in science fiction and is a popular topic of discussion. However, based on our current understanding of time and the laws of physics, it is unlikely that we will be able to physically travel through time. While it is possible to manipulate the perception of time through factors such as velocity and gravity, the idea of traveling to different points in time remains a theoretical concept.
The speed of time is relative and can vary depending on the observer's frame of reference. This means that time may appear to move at different speeds for different individuals or objects in the universe. Additionally, factors such as gravity and velocity can also affect the speed of time. For example, time moves slower in areas with a stronger gravitational force, such as near a black hole.
While we can measure time using clocks and other timekeeping devices, the speed of time itself is a more abstract concept and cannot be measured in the same way. Some scientists have proposed theories and models to try and explain the speed of time, but it remains a topic of ongoing research and debate in the scientific community.
