    Light Theory
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on Paul Davies' theory regarding the potential slowing of light, which has not gained substantial support since its introduction. Recent evaluations indicate that further research is necessary to validate the theory, with no significant advancements reported in over a year. The conversation raises questions about the implications for Einstein's theories and the nature of electron charge. Despite its initial appeal, the theory faces challenges that undermine its credibility. Overall, the theory remains largely unsubstantiated and is considered problematic in light of current scientific understanding.
