Does anyone know if VSL theories are being seriously researched, studied, and pursued?

Variable speed of light cosmology is an alternative theory to the commonly accepted inflation model of the early universe. It proposes that the speed of light was not constant in the early universe and may have varied over time.
Inflation theory suggests that the universe underwent a rapid period of expansion in the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang, while variable speed of light cosmology proposes that the speed of light was not constant during this time and may have affected the rate of expansion.
There is currently no direct evidence for variable speed of light cosmology. Some indirect evidence comes from observations of distant supernovae and the cosmic microwave background radiation, which suggest that the expansion of the universe may have been faster in the past than previously thought.
If variable speed of light cosmology is true, it would challenge our understanding of the early universe and the fundamental laws of physics. It could also have implications for the theory of relativity and the concept of a constant speed of light.
No, variable speed of light cosmology is still considered a fringe theory and is not widely accepted in the scientific community. It is important to note that it has not been thoroughly tested or supported by evidence, and more research is needed to fully understand its validity.
