Starlight

I am speaking of relative velocity. The speed of light has been slowed considerably in laboratory experiments and its different in a vacuum than in say earths atmosphere.

Actually you claimed that c - which is the speed of light in a vacuum - wasn't constant. Please try and get your terminology right.

I may of used c but you know exactly what I meant, so deal with it please!

The original statement had no clue that it did not mean the speed of light in vacuum.In the context of the original discussion the speed of light in vacuum is the relevant issue. Arguing over whether light is slowed in other media is NOT relevant.

You know this kind of BS gets old fast. In some experiments light has been slowed.

I know what you are talking about, and I know that it doesn't explain distant starlight in a universe no more than 10,000 years old.

Nevertheless, try to get into the spirit of debate instead of trying to muck things up. If I were writing a scientific paper I would have been more precise, it wasn’t I was responding to a member and considering a thought experiment. Nevertheless,thanks for your reply even if it is a bit hostile.

Accurate even if slightly exasperated) criticism is not hostility. There is, however, plenty of evidence of hostility in your post.
