I agree with you about his behavior, which is unfortunate because he raises
valid questions.  Your behavior has left a little to be desired too, with
your rash assumptions than anybody criticizing the current theories is a
Creationist.

Actually, I challenged the assumption the speed of light "is and always has
been" constant, which includes time but could also include other factors.

He did say the speed of light changes in water, and I doubt he was implying
it's faster than in air.

This is one of the fudge factors I was talking about.  Space isn't a uniform
vacuum, there are clouds of primitive gases, subatomic particles, even dust
and matter floating around between stars and planets.

Isn't c used to calculate the astrononical unit?
