Has the speed of light changed over time? @Nogwater Thanks, great article. I think that'd answer any question I might have. Except hearing what t'hoofts opinion is ;p. The shocking claim from the opfocus.org I linked is that redshifted galaxies might not be speeding away from each other at all: "if c were decreasing over time, the Hubble effect would turn out to be a simple optical effect, eliminating the need to postulate the existence of the dark matter." Now that seems like something easy to disprove and label as crackpottery. Right? |

Has the speed of light changed over time? I googled my question and found that a physicist J.W. Moffat supports the hypothesis:"physically consistent theories in which the speed of light is varying in time can indeed be developed in a safe and rigorous way." He works at the perimiter institute. Does that mean crackpot? opfocus.org/index.php?topic=story&v=8&s=4 |
