Abstract
The speed of light, which has been experimentally shown to have a specific value to a very high degree of accuracy over classical distances, becomes increasingly uncertain over increasingly small scales of measurement. While this constant plays a fundamental role in all of subclassical physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle generates an increasingly large uncertainty in its value in these very same areas of physics.
