It is hair-curling science. They looked at light from the most distant objects in the universe, quasars up to a billion times the size of our sun, which are 10 billion or 12 billion light years away.

JM: Isn't that still a little too old a Universe for you young earth folk?

This paper argues that it must be c slowing down, as a change in e would violate 2LoT.
​
This paper is supporting a change in light speed near the beginning of the Universe and has nothing to do with decreasing the age of the Universe from 12-15 billion years down to 6000-10000 years. Sorry.
