OK, I said the wrong thing there. I was trying to say was, c causes singularities. I still believe this to be the case. You have said you don't like analogies, so instead I have provided a thought experiment. Get on your bicycle and follow me as we cycle around One Tree Hill. Try and keep up...

I assumed that in general relativity, when you see light bending around massive bodies, it means spacetime is warped by gravity, because the light is traveling at c. I swapped a couple of postulates, I allowed light to change speed by getting rid of c, fixed space as flat Euclidean style and did...

No. I haven't met Mr Tompkins and I don't know why you prefer Minkowski geometry. Mr Tompkins still appears to have C, just a different C. Hurkyl's response is cryptic.

I was talking to Galileo the other day and he told me that motion is relative. A ship is moving relative to the shore and vice versa, and so is everything else in the universe. Nowadays you wouldn't dream of fixing all positions and motion to one universal reference point. Physics should work...
