Comment Stopping or Changing the SPEED of light (Score 1) 243
I can't help but wonder how this affects the Big Bang theory. This theory is based almmost solely (I'm sure that I am over simplifying here) on the basis of a consistantly observed "Red Shift" in astonomical bodies.
If all distant bodies are Red Shifting, then they must have come from a discreet place an been imparted with a great momentum, and thus a Big Bang. But this whole thing is based on Red Shift which is calculated by using a FIXED speed of light. All this research in slowing light would seem to complicate that theory to the point of unmanagability.
