[snip rest of crap]

If so, 

   1) E = mc^2 would be arbitrary re reshouffling of mass-equivalent
nuclear binding energies in fission and fusion warhead detonations.
   2) Particle accelerator pulse timing, packet reshaping, and
collision outputs would be toast.
   3) GPS would not work.
   4) Supernova imaging across the EM spectrum would show dispersion.
   5) Widescreen color CRTs would not be color-correctable.
   6) Fiberoptic pulse transmission would blur.
   7) Atomic and molecular spectrocopies would be inconsistent.
   8) http://arxiv.org/abs/0706.2031 would evince anomalies.
   9) http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.0287 would evince anomalies.
  10) http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.1134 would evince anomalies.
