in thread [OT] A prediction.

Thanks for that; it is very interesting.

Another, "mysteriously increasing" phenomena; that might be accounted for if the speed of light were imperceptibly increasing over time.

Though I doubt 18 years is long enough for it to be able to account for the 8% difference they cite.

But then again, I wonder when they last checked the SoL - who bothers to check the value of a constant. And with units of both distance and time being measured in terms of that constant, would they notice anyway :)

My post was instigated from watching a pair of documentaries and some further reading on the net that lead to some strange possibilities. The Universe is weird and there is a lot that we think we know, that does not add up.

I'm condemned to being a passive bystander watching it unfold, and the chances are that I won't be around long enough to see it all resolved; but I could not help but observe that if the SoL increased slowly over astrological astronomical timescales; it might go some way to explaining a lot of the anomalous stuff that seems to plague cosmology.

    astrological timescales

    ie. month to month?

    ;-)

      D'oh!
