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.-Because, that article you referenced would mean that the speed of light is not constant at all wavelengths. Which is an argument that has been made repeatedly, but ignored.-
"Lower-energy light with its longer wavelengths would be akin to an ocean liner, gliding through the foamy quantum sea largely undisturbed. Light of higher energy and shorter wavelengths, on the other hand, would be more like a small dinghy battling through the waves."
