[net.physics] speed of light 2

michaelk (05/06/83)

If the speed-of-light constant were changed, AND all all other physical
effects did NOT change (seems as likely a conclusion as the premise), then
the only significant effect would be modifications to many equations
that were painfully worked out by physicists.  Those equations, no 
matter what may have been said, are not "laws" per se, but are
empirically obtained observations.  I think they would have to come
down from the mountain in stone tablet form to be "laws".
