Barry Setterfield claims that c (the speed of light) was infinite at the beginning of the universe and has been gradually slowing down ever since. The original high speed explains how light from distant stars and galaxies has reached the earth in far less time than seems necessary.
​
G. P. Jellison and W. T. Bridgman have written a detailed rebuttal of Setterfield's ideas:
​
Analysis of the Variable Lightspeed (c-Decay) Theory of Barry Setterfield
​
I would like to discuss how Jellison has supposedly debunked Setterfield's ideas.

Hi ForEverYoung,
​
I have rewritten your OP. Have you read the Jellison/Bridgman paper?

I have read parts of it. I will read all of it before responding to someone who has read all of it.
