This Mother Not A Chicken

If we doubt we have the right number for the speed of light or the length of a wavelength,

\(f=\cfrac{c}{\lambda}=\cfrac{8^2}{3}\pi=67.02\,Hz\)

there is no reason to believe that we have defined the length of a second correctly either.

What happens at \(67.02\,Hz\)?  Only after we have this per second period defined, can we define \(\lambda\) and so \(c\).

The egg stops here...
