Science, Creation & EvolutionSpeed of LightSince this is my first post, I'd like to say Hello to everybody. There is no way to measure the speed of light independent from atomic processes. Not today and not the last centuries. To state that c changed but is in sync with atomic processes is meaningless. If something changes and there is no way to notice this, way would anybody insist that it changed? Of course there is the possibility, that c isn't in sync. This was proposed some years ago, where it seemed that the fine structure constant alpha, which is dependent of c, changed by a small bit. But: 1) This change was extremely small 2) It occurred over the last billion years and wouldn't be noticeable over the last centuries 3) Newer measurements didn't confirm this effect:Cowie et al.,NATURE 428 (6979): 132-133,2004 Alternatives, which aren't in contradiction with modern physics: 1) The values aren't correct 2) Other measurements with the opposite trend were simply left out 3) Simply chance No. It is known that other constants would change if the speed of light would change. But every single constant remained constant. To discuss the possibility of a change of the speed of light is of course a physics issue. But there is no evidence that c changed significantly and in a measurable way at least the last 170000 years. |
