→‎Changing the Speed of Light: Are you saying that E=mc2 requires that c remain absolutely unchanged throughout the lifetime of the universe? If so, then that proves my point, because that assumption is implausible.
Line 191: Line 191:  
::Actually, I would expect it to affect just about everything in atomic physics, to a degree that would be catastrophic for life on Earth.  As you know, life is possible only because a number of physical constants are very "finely tuned" for the universe that we live in.  This includes the relativistic nature of subatomic particles.  If you are depending, for your notion that you can refute E=mc^2, on the idea that it wouldn't respond gracefully to a change in the speed of light, you are clinging to a very thin reed.
