in thread [OT] A prediction.

Yes, you did claim, in big bold letters, that "The speed of light is not constant! It is, in fact, accelerating ...".

But the articles you refer to say that the speed of light may not be constant.

These are two entirely different ways of stating things.

If you had said that "it may not be constant", I would have been an agreement with you. Yes, maybe it is not constant, after all. But you said that speed of light is not constant and presented that as a fact. I can't agree with that formulation, because this is just a theory which has not been established as a fact so far. But, having said that, it is definitely an interesting question and an interesting debate.

    No. I did not "claim" anything.

    I predicted that the assertion, by many others, would be proven correct.

    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)
    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
