  1. Google agrees with you, so it must be true ;)

    1 000 meters = 3.33564095 × 10^-6 lightseconds


  2. You are right.

    c = 299,792,458 [m/s]

    1000 [m]/(299,792,458 [m/s]) = 3.33564605 × 10-6 [s]


  3. That looks about right.  Of course your brain takes much longer than that to process the data anyway.

  4. True.  Useless, but true.

    Years ago, two clocks in the long narrow dining hall of a dorm building at M.I.T. showed different times.  A cartoon with calculations purported to show that the difference was due to the hall being a couple of light minutes long!
