Tony: Most of them except the speed of light as constant too. Just sayin'. And, I am not straining for an objection. There are numerous objections to the method. However, my original point was NOT simply about radiometric dating, but merely to point out that this discovery could have some major reverberations throughout many different disciplines.

>David: That is a good point, but remember the difference in the speed of light in this article depends upon the quantum characteristics of the space-time it is passing through. Difference in speed is not due to a change in light itself.-That is correct. It is a very fundamental shift in the way that we look at space. As is true any time you change something very fundamental, the repercussions grow larger the further up the ladder you climb. The speed of light may only fluctuate slightly, and the variance energy/mass of an atom may be insignificant because they are directly connected to the speed. However each step you move further away from that direct connection the greater the change. Like a pendulum, at the base the change is small, but at the tip, things are moving at much greater magnitudes.
