electromagnetic radiation - Why does the speed of light $c$ have the value it does?



Why does light have the speed it does? why is it not considerably faster or slower than it is? I can't imagine science, being what it is, not pursuing a rational scientific explanation for the speed of light. Just saying "it is what it is" or being satisfied saying it is 1 ($c=1$), does not sound like science.

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
