Okay, Alex so far understood where this was going. He nodded his head slowly to show this.

On a train.
Table.
Light between two mirrors.
Metre apart.
6.7 nanoseconds to get from one mirror to the other and back.

And... since the train was moving, the mirrors were. Yeah... made sense. Kinda.

"Does the speed of the train matter, sir? And... maybe I'm being dim, but in my head it makes more sense for the speed to be quicker, 'cause the train is zooming along and... well, I think my brain just exploded."

There was one way to settle this.

"I don't think we should question the light, sir. After all, all things serve The Beam."

Alex didn't have a clue what he was on about.
