This is regarded as the speed of light through empty space. I do not question the measurements of c, or the numeric value of about 186,282 miles per second, but rather its interpretation. The very word "constant" is, in my mind, inappropriate and should be modified.

The proposed concept is that the velocity c, generally accepted as the speed of light through a vacuum is, in fact, the magnitude of a vector, ct=T, where c is the magnitude of velocity of all the matter of the universe in a direction perpendicular to all three spatial directions. The direction of T is unique for every material object in the universe. It also applies to the empty space spaces between objects.
