Getting hold of the cells - from old laptops bought off of eBay, for example - is a chore. “When they come to me, they’re just laptop batteries,” explains Matthews in a video. Participating employees each receive $2,100 to purchase their choice of laptop along with a three-year service warranty, says Brandy Fulton-Moorer, vice president of human resources.

Ole Rømer, a Danish astronomer, calculated the speed of light by observing the eclipses of Jupiter's moon during the years 1668–1674. A discrepancy was observed for the time between the eclipses, increasing when the Earth was moving away from Jupiter and decreasing when the Earth was approaching. In half a year, there are a total of 102 eclipses of Io, giving a maximum delay of 16.5 minutes (shown in the bottom-right plot). Rømer interpreted this as the difference in the times needed for the light to travel between Jupiter and Earth. He obtained a value of 214,000 km/s compared to the current value 299,792 km/s. The diameter of the Earth's orbit was not accurately known and there was also an error in the measurement of the delay. Nevertheless, it was a first confirmation that the speed of light is finite.
