Signs of the Quran - Astronomy

The Quran being the true word of the Almighty creator contains the exact method for the calculation of the speed of light, since light itself is a creation of the creator:

The exact speed of light in vacuum (space) according to modern methods of measurement, which are linked to modulated laser radiation inferometers, is C (Celeritas, latin for swiftness) = 299792.45 km/s.

In the Islamic calendar the month is one orbit of the moon around the earth and one year is 12 months long.

The synodic lunar month (time between one full moon and the next) is 29.53 days, the sidereal lunar month (considering the movement of the earth and the sun during this period) is 27.32 days or 655.71986 hours

The average radius of this orbit is R = 384264 km.

The synodic day is 24 hours or 86400 sec. and the siderial day is 23 hours, 4.0906 seconds = 86164.0906 sec.

One thousand years, as stated in two Ayahs above, are 12000 sidereal months, t is tempus, Latin for time and is used for the terrestrial day.

L is the distance which the moon covers around the earth, excluding the effect of gravity from the sun.

C x t = 12000 x L V (Velocitas, Latin for speed) is the average speed of the moon deduced from the average radius r of the motion of the moon around the earth as measured from an orbiting earth during its motion around the sun:

V=2 Pi x R/T
V = 2 x 3.1416 x 384264km / 655.71986h = 3682.07km/h

Pi = 3.1416 is a constant in mathematics for the calculation of curves, and cos for the calculation of angles.

@ is the angle travelled by earth and moon together around the sun during one lunar sidereal month (27.321661 days, see above).

Since the year is 365.25636 days and the complete circle is divided into 360°, we can state:

@ = 27.321661 x 360 / 365.25636 = 26.92848 = constant

The formula for the calculation of the length of an approximately circular orbit from a given speed and time is:

L = V x COs x @ x T
and since C x t = 1200 x L
this means C x t = 12000 x V x COs @ x T
so C = 12000 x V x COs @ x T / t;

this means

C = 12000 x 3682.07 km/h x 0.89157 x 655.71986 h /86164.0906

So, according to the Quran, C = 299792.5 km/s the exact modern figure.
