   The wavelength of a photon is quite simple.
   Since the only thing the neo-druids of relativity
   have confirmed about the wavelengths of photons
   is that frequency*wavelength=1.
   And the thing the morons have confirmed experimentally about the
frequency
   of photons is that the fine structure constant is approximately
   a Goggle best-seller.




 The speed of light also varies with
