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.
@icedquinn @thor
There's a problem with measuring the cosmological constant, but not the speed of light.
@icedquinn @thor
I think this should make it pretty obvious that the guy is just exploring a potential mathematical model, and it's not something measured or proven in any way.
Do I need to read further?
@icedquinn @thor
I read a bit more, and I'm actually aware of this theoretical model they build. It's just that mathematically a lot of things can work and be self consistent. They're just not usually consistent with reality. And this model is one of those where it's less tested and provable than string theory. It's the equivalent of a creationist going "but what if the universe is only 6000 years old", but with actual consistent maths. Still doesn't make it true though.
@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.
