Can The Assumption That The Speed Of Light Is Constant Be Wrong?
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN!
This is a call to the astronomy communities to consider a ideal that can not be ignored.
After reading the magnificent article Time - A Little More Than Meets the Eye by @churchboy
"He figured that the only thing that is absolute is the speed of light. If this is so, he realised that space and time must be flexible to accommodate the invariability of the speed of light." by @churchboy referring to Einstein's work.
But speed by its very nature can't be constant if observed long enough.
In simple terms;
Light like every other particles that are traveling in a straight line will eventually decelerate in time and space.
Why?
Because the medium in which all things travel cause a drag due to resistance.
So after hundreds of millions of years of light travelling, it is greatly slowed down, astronomy is still holding unto the assumption that the speed of light is constant for ever.
It is this erroneous assumption that accounts for the enormous light years you hear about in astronomy.
PicturSource
"Researchers using Hubble space telescope data have spotted Icarus (aka MACS J1149+2223 Lensed Star 1), a blue supergiant whose light was emitted when it was 9 billion light years away from Earth -- over 100 times farther than the previous record-setter. They captured the star thanks to a rare, ideal gravitational lensing effect where the star's light was magnified not only by the gravity of an in-between galaxy cluster 5 billion light years from Earth, but by a star inside that cluster. All told, the lensing magnified Icarus 2,000 times."

This billions and billions of light year (up to 13.3 billion light-years) are nothing more then errors in calculations based on the assumption that the speed of light is constant.
Farthest Known Galaxy in the Universe Discovered
The galaxy MACS0647-JD (inset) appears very young and is only a fraction of the size of our own Milky Way. The galaxy is about 13.3 billion light-years from Earth, the farthest galaxy yet known, and formed 420 million years after the Big Bang.

This should be looked into and adjustments be made accordingly. Hahaha Easier said than done!

No, the speed of light is always constant throughout the universe. Many experiments have been done to validate Einstein's theory of special relativity.
Photos aren't something like a football that deaccelerates due to aerodynamic resistance.
Any evidence to back this statement? I don't think there is any. The data collected by the Hubble Space Telescope are widely accepted in the scientific community.
Without proper evidence to back up your claim, this is nothing more than a science fiction post. Also, please properly cite the images.
Hahaha
All I am asking is that you do your own research now that you have read my article. You will be pleasantly surprised. As you dig deep and deeper under more and more layers of errors of assumptions then the truth will finally be clear.
The greatest truths are realized not discovered, because we had always known them but just couldn't accept their simplicity.
Thank you for your participation on this topic.
Enough research has been done on it. It is a well-established fact that the speed of light is constant :)

Indeed thought provoking article! i think light travels at a constant speed also and relatively slow really when you think how infinitely big the universe is, i recently watched some interesting science regarding toroidal magnetism and its connection with everything including the ancient pyramids and stone circles in a network around our planet as an ancient power grid and even cloak around our planet, could magnetism be a way to travel faster than light and maybe the ancients already new how to do it, certainly changed my view of modern science and the way the universe is perceived by the mainstream thinking which seems to happen throughout our human history putting down ideas that come outside the box and then turn out to be true, i have added the link so you can check the science for yourself and make your own conclusions and its worth suffering the adverts! Peace! :D
