I'm not a physicist, mathematician, or cosmologist, but it strikes me that this might be related to [[Inflation (cosmology)]]. Digging around a bit, I found [http://www.astroscu.unam.mx/rmaa/RMxAA..45-2/PDF/RMxAA..45-2_mberman.pdf] and [http://www.astroscu.unam.mx/rmaa/RMxAA..46-1/PDF/RMxAA..46-1_msberman.pdf], which might be relevant. I can't claim to really understand this stuff so I'm not going to fiddle with this further. It does strike me, though, that there's a [[WP:SS]] disconnect between the content of this section and the [[Variable speed of light]] article which it links as {{tl|main}}.

:Throughout the article it is not always clear which theories are generally accepted and verified and what are speculative, even if they are published in reliable sources.

DVdm is clearly a YEC(despite his disguise): |

"'''Variable speed of light (VSL)''' is a '''hypothesis''' that states that the [[speed of light]], usually denoted by ''c'', may be a function of space and time." Source: [[Variable speed of light]] |

That article has no issues, but this one has and he still change a definition clearly stated on this very wiki. |
|||
VSL is a [[hypothesis]] since is hasn't been proven true. peer review is something needed for a theory to be accepted, if I say I have a theory, they will ask me for the experiments, notes and all the data I gathered to reach my conclusions. |

What we have on VSL? mumbo jumbo, gibberish and DVdm playing the role of "god of scientific definitions". |

Travel vs Communication
Am I the only one who feels that these subjects may better be served with separate articles? They really have a different set of problems and possible solutions. Kortoso (talk) 02:48, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- But they share the same causality paradoxes and logical impossibilities, if special relativity is correct.SBHarris 02:54, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
Variable Speed of Light is not a Theory...
Even the page states that is a HYPOTHESIS! Any kind of change to that section is creationist vandalism, as creationist are the only ones interested in trying to show that statement as "scientific theory" without scientific proof.--FaustoLG (talk) 03:43, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- The article does not say that variable speed of light is a theory. It says that variable speed of light is a postulate in some theories. Theories can be wrong. There is no need to call them hypotheses. Besides, hypotheses don't postulate. Theories do. I have reverted your edit. - DVdm (talk) 12:19, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Variable speed of light section
In this edit, I've removed what looked to me like an unsupported editorial comment added in this 2006 edit to what is now the Variable speed of light section. The removed bit seemed somewhat disparaging.
I'm not a physicist, mathematician, or cosmologist, but it strikes me that this might be related to Inflation (cosmology). Digging around a bit, I found [1] and [2], which might be relevant. I can't claim to really understand this stuff so I'm not going to fiddle with this further. It does strike me, though, that there's a WP:SS disconnect between the content of this section and the Variable speed of light article which it links as {{main}}.
