Since 1983, the speed of light in vacuum has been defined as exactly equal to 299,792,458 meters per second. Given this definition, is there any point to conducting experiments to test whether there are anisotropies in the speed of light due to Earth's motions in space? Such as these: https://tinyurl.com/8hkry7k3 The definition of the speed of light is such that there can't be. Right?
