I have always felt that the inflationary period immediately following
the 'big bang' is a contrived theory, and this leads me to ask if the
speed of light has always been the same figure.
The reason I ask this is that to explain the initial rapid expansion,
I wondered if the speed of light could have been virtually infinite at
the moment of creation and subsequently slowed down on an
exponential curve? I feel that this might be a more natural way to
account for inflation.
This would mean that speed of light continues to slow, although
at the present time the change would be very hard to detect.
If the speed of light must always be the same figure, why that
particular number?
