Calculating the Speed of Light | 2024 Science Ambassador Scholarship

The speed of light might be common knowledge today, but 300 hundred years ago we weren’t even sure whether light had speed in the first place. So, how did we come to measure the speed of light for the first time? Watch the video to learn how Ole Rømer calculated the speed of light in the 17th century.
This video is my application for the 2024 Science Ambassador Scholarship.
