C decay is a theory that postulates that the speed of light (c) gets slower over time. The concept was developed Dr. Barry Setterfield and V. S. Troitskii, based on past measurements of the speed of light. It is described in detail in the paper The Atomic Constants, Light, and Time[1] by Setterfield and Trevor Norman, hosted at Lambert Dolphins web site[2].

The paper claims an apparent decay trend that levels off as time goes on, and which has the added benefit of accelerating nuclear decay.

This theory is overwhelmingly rejected by the scientific community.

The data are summarized in two graphs.
