Variable Light Speed?
Hi Penn,
I read your post on Quantum Mechanics in relation to GR. It seems you captured the general gist. The qualm I am having is with Variable Light Speed. Now, I read the article you posted by Jo˜ao Magueijo. With VLS there are major causality issues which he never addresses a solution to. In fact he ends his essay stating the causality issue and leaves it at that.
The author even mentions in his premise that there has been no observable evidence in support of VLS as of yet. I skimmed over the math, as I am by no means an expert mathematician, especially when it comes to physics. I will be shooting my friend who is a Nuclear Engineer with NASA this link to see what he thinks of it.
I hope it is realized that VLS would mean that our Universe is far older than our present estimates as Parallax would be extremely scewed. I for one would love VLS to be possible, unfortunately though our observation of light and how it functions has yet to provide merit to VLS.
Just my 2 ever-devaluating cents
