> Setterfield: Yes, there is. 'c', the speed of light, is in the numerator of every reduced radio decay rate equation.

> Setterfield: Atomic decay rates do not depend on the speed of light. Both are, however, 'children' of the same parent -- the Zero Point Energy. Because of this, and because the speed of light is in the numerator of every reduced radio decay rate equation, any changes in the speed of light are indicating changes in atomic decay rates.-Since the speed of light doesn't change, as far as it has been demonstrated, I still don't see how c makes any difference. The objection does not use the whole equation.
