Einstein Was Wrong: The Speed of Light Is Changing (And It Changes Everything)
Einstein was wrong? New evidence suggests the speed of light is changing, a discovery that could rewrite cosmology, the Hubble tension, and our understanding of the early universe. If the universal speed limit isn't constant, everything from special relativity to the age of the universe shifts, challenging the very foundations of physics and astronomy. 🚀
TL;DR: Scientists are investigating if the speed of light (c) was faster in the early universe, offering a radical solution to the Hubble tension and the horizon problem. This video explores the Variable Speed of Light (VSL) theory, fine-structure constant anomalies, and how next-gen surveys like DESI and CMB-S4 could finally prove Einstein’s "sacred" constant is actually a variable. 🌌
✨ In This Video:
We dive deep into the "heretical" physics of Variable Speed of Light (VSL). From the Hubble constant discrepancy to black hole thermodynamics and primordial fluctuations, we break down why the standard model of cosmology might be due for a massive rewrite. Is Lorentz invariance truly absolute, or is the cosmos more mutable than we ever imagined?
