Universal Decay

Is the speed of light slower now than at the creation of the universe?

Fascinating. It wouldn't surprise me at all, scientists are always so sure of their pet theories until they learn differently. They only know what they see, there is always much more they don't know and they deny it exists until they can measure it. Throw in flawed human reasoning (is there any other kind?) and you get modern science.

Light is a physical property of this physical universe and it makes sense that it might be decaying right along with the rest of the universe. Someday we'll know.

If true, virtually all aspects of traditional physics are affected, including the presumed steady state of radioactive decay used to measure geologic time.
