Barry Setterfield is a young earth creationist from Australia who is known for proposing that the speed of light was faster in the past. [1] In 1999, John Webb, a professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and his colleagues reported astronomical observations suggesting that the value of the fine-structure constant (which is related to the speed of light) may have changed which they subsequently published in 2001 in Physical Review Letters.[2][3] If correct, then various theories that constants have always may need to be changed.[4] When Barry Setterfield took the position that the speed of light was much faster in the past the main objection was the purported constancy of fundamental laws.[5]
Mr. Setterfield also lectured at the Astronomical Society of South Australia for six years. [6]
