Depends on what you mean by significant,but it might be able to make the universe a little bit younger.There are some problems though, and I don't think I can stomach such a theory until it is able to explain what happens to the rest mass of various particles...JVD said:I recently read an article on the possibility that the speed of light is slowing at a significant rate.
What effect would that have on evolution and creation?
I'd be wary of those that postulate a measurable slowdown over a hundred years. The ones that I have seen select results that are above average. Since measurements have gotten more precise with time, the early one's that erred on the high side will err farther. I haven't seen anything that indicates that this effect can be shown to be something other than statistical uncertainty.JVD said:Actually, I went through several articles after I did a search. Some people postulate a very significant slowdown measurable even over the last few hundred years.
I just think it is interesting and actually reassuring that some scientists are willing to question some of the most basic foundations of science. I know enough about science to realize that if the speed of light were shown to fluctuate a lot, much of physics would have to be reevaluated.
