If this is a valid means of measuring the speed of thought, it leads to a strange contradiction.

Picture the nucleus of an atom. Now picture an electron in the first, inner-most shell of that atom.

Your thoughts have moved an infinitesimally small distance, in the same span of time that it took for your thoughts to reach the sun. Thus the travel time is constant, and the speed varies inversely with distance. Therefore, thoughts can be both infinitely fast and infinitely slow, depending on what you're thinking about.
