[Fundies have been reacting to the discovery of an "echo" of the Big Bang. Another fundie has claimed that the speed of light is decreasing.]
If the speed of light was decaying, it would turn the standard model of the cosmos on its head. If decay could be proven, practically everything science thinks they know about the origins of the universe would be wrong. Things like; the perceived age of the universe, intergalactic distances, the weak and strong forces, electron energies, and such. I tend to think the universe is winding down and that includes the speed of light.
I have a working hypothesis that all living things are devolving, genetics material is being lost, DNA is not as robust as it once was, and destructive genetic defects are on the rise. A reduction in light speed could possibly account for this because it would alter the electron force in every atom and thus degrade the very building block of life.
