I believe the OP meant that they're narrowing in on being confident that gravitational waves travel at C, not narrowing in on a more precise value of C.

That said, if we do obtain a more precise value of C, the definition that changes is the meter. The second is defined in terms of energy states of a caesium atom.



Right you are. I wrote that a bit ambiguously.
