What if the speed of light is not constant, but is in fact relative? We might call it the relative speed of light.
What if the speed of light is moderately altered by the physical characteristics of the galaxy in which in travels through? Namely the diameter of the galaxy and the gravitational forces, masses within such galaxy.
It seems odd that we assume that the speed of light is a constant when we have not been able to test this notion from a point outside of our own galaxy. Maybe we should put an asterisk after this notion, theory to indicate that the speed of light is only (relatively) constant within our galaxy?
Doesn't light slow (no matter how slight) as it passes through solid objects?
