Time Dilation (Wiki)
Time dilation is a difference in the elapsed time measured by two clocks, either due to them having a velocity relative to each other, or by there being a gravitational potential difference between their locations. After compensating for varying signal delays due to the changing distance between an observer and a moving clock (i.e. Doppler effect), the observer will measure the moving clock as ticking slower than a clock that is at rest in the observer's own reference frame.

Just as one die has six outcomes and two dice have 62 = 36 outcomes, the probability experiment of rolling three dice has 63 = 216 outcomes. This idea generalizes further for more dice. If we roll n dice then there are 6n outcomes.

It's ~186000 miles / second though.

It's really an impossible thing to do with the current definition of the meter:

So I wanna change the measurement for C to zero, am I crazy or just stupid or maybe it's time to connect those dots and expand your horizons.
If a photon goes into a black hole, the energy becomes part of the black hole
Where does energy go when it enters a black hole, compressed or converted into what and where is it. Where did it go.
According to Einstein, the rest mass never changes, and he didn't think the concept of relativistic mass was a valid concept, rather, he said it was the energy that increased, not the mass. It's explained in one of my posts here:
Let's take a break, fun fact. You are always moving! Taking into account rotation, orbit and others factors the Earth is actually moving approximately 12 million km/h. So your moving pretty fast right now. Where is the inertia? What does relativity say about us moving at that velocity regarding mass?
The energy of particles including photons or any other particles entering the black hole is not gone, it becomes part of the black hole's mass according to theory, though our error bars on a black holes mass are too wide to detect the change in mass from a single photon.
Why does light interact with black holes when photons have zero mass just like zero time or half life. It could simply be a lensing issue. As for the particles that do enter a black hole, where do they go. It's not as though there is a storage area below the event horizon. From our reference frame, the energy is gone.
In 5 minutes a fixed spot the earth will have moved 250000 miles ahead of us
Earth travels about 1.6 million miles (2.6 million km) a day, or 66,627 mph (107,226 km/h).
The sun and the solar system appear to be moving at 200 kilometers per second, or at an average speed of 448,000 mph (720,000 km/h)
the two (galaxies) are rushing toward each other at about 70 miles per second (112 km per second).

breaking down all the matter and energy that it comes in contact with. Eventually some critical mass point will be reached once they have absorbed enough and switch on.

Thanks for your input, I respect your opinion.
The word measurement wasn't the correct way to describe it. The measurement doesn't change. The reference and we have labelled it does. It's still the same from the perspective, the speed of light. It's been measured relative to us. I understand this.

Apologies to the community, my above reply was appalling in terms of grammar, writing and general English skills

What if the current measured speed of light isn't as accurate as we first thought? Human ego and self centric thinking has created some big hurdles in science especially.
I'm curious as to where all that matter, mass and energy actually go or remain stored, so to speak
It's not like we see the gravity well or a bulge under or over the black hole as to where it is going.

How would it look..
It takes 8 minutes for the light from our sun to reach us. Perhaps if travelling faster than light(if that were actually possible) you would begin to see the star activity in reverse.
