Interestingly instead of having to shave more often they have to shave less often. This is due to an effect known as relativistic time dilation. Although the speed of the space station is relatively slow on the cosmic scale the resulting time dilation is still measurable...

In other words you consider any discussion of a slowly decreasing speed of light "unreasonable". And yet theories to explain the observed accelerating universal expansion using these "reasonable" cosmological models requires the fabrication of mysterious "dark energy" to account for the...

Thank you Calnoth for leading me in the right direction. I found that someone has recently considered the possibility that the speed of light is decreasing with time. http://arxiv.org/abs/1001.1561 It's amazing how simple it is to find thing when you know where to look.

This is why I am questioning whether anyone has pursued a theory based on a changing set of "constants". We do not observe accelerated expansion locally, but instead only see the effect across vast distances or space/time. On cosmological scales our observations of distant objects are...

I have read theories that space itself is expanding, but if this were the case wouldn't our perception of this expansion be skewed by the very fact that we ourselves are part of the expansion? Has anyone pursued a theory that what we hold as constants, the power of the weak force, the power...
