Proof of Concept for seeking collaboration to derive the speed of light 𝑐, an be derived from first principles using only directly measurable quantities, without assuming its value anywhere in the calculation chain. The methodology involves accelerating electrons in a High Voltage Electron Microscope (HVEM) across a wide energy range, measuring their velocity using an integrated time-of-flight (TOF) system, and comparing the de Broglie wavelength inferred from relativistic momentum to the wavelength derived from Bragg diffraction patterns in a gold target. The goal is to assess whether these independently obtained wavelengths agree across the relativistic regime, thereby enabling an empirical derivation of 𝑐.
