The speed of light is NOT constant

There are actually 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I hope that was too sad and everyone ignored it. I do have the worlds geekiest t-shirt. It has the stack printed on it upside down so you can just look down. Came from a SANS convention a few years back. Guess I have to: There is no place like 127.0.0.1 😛

Ha ha, if Schrödinger had had such cat, certainly they took it more seriously.
Over the years, have been forgotten parents of quantum physics: Planck, Schrödinger, Einstein ...

Today I do not repair TVs, I am an "amateur opinionologyst" 😀
IMHO, physics has two major problems

1)The Establishment that impedes exciting new publications, and on the other hand it allows meaningless publications.
Unfortunately is how it works, publish or perish.
This is not new, remember famous cases like those of Newton and Cauchy.

Fortunately, every so often someone comes along and were laughing in the face

Alan Sokal's paper: "Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity"

Nice joke, right?

2)There are many mathematicians and few physicists.
There are also mathematicians disguised as physicists.

I remember formulations of 128-dimensional space-time !
There are enough four to go crazy with calculations.

VSL theories

The journey to the past

Fortunately Boltzmann saved us from the tourists of the future.
The results obtained by the Planck probe, once again show that c is a constant.
Recent measurements show a flat space-time, locally curved, but globally flat.

It seems a joke, right?
Much study Topology and Riemannian Geometry, with Euclid was enough?

God is subtle but he is not malicious. A.Einstein

Consider this movie "The year that derailed physics" 😀

One thing that's neglected with Schrodinger's cat is that he can also be an observer.

Now recently NASA has detected anomalous movement in its probes and spacecraft which it cannot explain. There are also various experiments with spinning balls and gyroscopes that are difficult to explain. These inconsistent and inconvenient facts are explainable in terms of Aetheric drag!

Just another nail for the coffin:
Neutrino Subatomic Particles Don't Travel Faster Than Light--Einstein Was Right, Physicists Say
And no, I don't believe in vampires...

I don't get this. They found the bad connector several months ago and said so then. Maybe they needed more press for funding.

OK, a real questions for those real physics types out there. Speed is a distance per time. Time varies with gravity. So the speed of light is relative to your viewpoint?

Next question I don't get. If gravity is a warping of space-time, then why the hub-bub of why it is a weak force relative to the strong/weak/electromagnetic forces and why does it need a particle to carry it?

If Higgs carries mass, then all particles, including other bosons must be composite particles and not atomic, as they must contain one or more Higgs?

These shows on Discover channel just don't connect the dots.

No, it's constant independent of frame. That's why you see time dilation, length contraction, and (in one of the most beautiful results in all of physics) magnetic field from a charge moving with respect to your frame.
 
Einstein being shown wrong is more news worthy than a bad connection.
The original CERN report never said Einstein was wrong, just that they needed further investigation it was detailed and listed all time sources and delays about 28 pages if I remember. i was voting for a missed gate or two in a FPGA.

It is known that in Maxwell, speed of light (u) was regarded as a constant, and with no reservation relative to a sender or receiver speed, that is, independent.

Ref. "magnetic field from a charge moving", here is a quote from what I read now (Heaviside Electrical Papers, Vol. II) year 1894 !
