@thor yea they did some basic bitch linear regression, came up with that concept, and then married it and are holding on for dear life.

except the speed of light has been observed to change so the linearity of the equations is disproven :blobcatdunno:

@icedquinn @thor
>except the speed of light has been observed to change
Where?! Cause last time I know of where scientists thought they managed to get a different speed of light, it turned out they bungled their experiment.

@alyx @thor that was the problem there's been multiple measurements of supposed constants and people keep ending up with different numbers

@icedquinn @thor
There's a problem with measuring the cosmological constant, but not the speed of light.

@icedquinn @thor
And calling it a problem is being generous, cause people aren't even sure if the mishmashes is because some measurements techniques are less accurate than others, or if it's something else. Cause some of them do fit with one another within the error margins.
