Bluefete, the speed of light is a constant and I doubt it can ever change in the future since we have very accurate ways to measure it today and it works in all the mathematical theories perfectly, and especially Einstein's theories of relativity. Which have been proven time and time again by experiment from many different branches of sciences.
Why is it that fixed speed in a vacuum? Good question and we will never know. It's simply an inherent and unchangeable property of our Universe. Like how the mass of a proton is some constant or the half life of an element is a fixed time even though the spontaneous change of matter to energy is random.
Yes the Universe is a big place. Distances (and hence time) are very far and deep. More than a human mind can truly understand properly. When we first got a picture of the Hubble's Deep Field in 1995 it changed human perspective of what Earth and us really are in the Universe and greater meaning of time. Random nothing made of supernova dust, but at the same time very special and unique and privileged to be alive in this time of scientific discovery to experience the consciousness of our real place out there.

Good analysis (as usual) maj.tom. Perspective is a heck of a thing when one studies physics or astronomy.
You made a very good case for the existence of a Supreme Being though. The concept of the speed of light working perfectly in all math theories - did light decide to do all this by itself? Did light just randomly find the perfect speed to travel at in a vacuum? Does light have consciousness to work out the right speed? I know you wrote that we don't know and that is quite acceptable from a scientific perspective. But the elephant in the room .......

You aren't doing a good thing for your belief in God by stating "we don't know, therefore God" - it is not a very good argument for God because it gets debunked when we eventually find out the answer. That very act is referred to as "God of the Gaps".
https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2015/ ... ut-science
In ancient times people said Thor or Zeus were the Gods of lightning and thunder when mankind didn't have the scientific understanding of what causes lightning. The same argument you used can be used there - "did the lighting think for itself?".
Photons are massless - so they always move at the speed of light in vacuum.
Check these videos. Light is massless and also photons do not experience time.

24hrs in heaven is equivalent to a 1000 years on earth
Are beings who exist as pure energy like those described in stargate as the ascended ancients really real? They created us manipulated us can choose to take a body and be us.

when the Bible say God create the world in 6 days ppl say that is nonsense but they didn't take relativity and time dilation into account- remember Interstellar? what is a few days for some is years for someone else on another planet.

NASA’s Webb Reveals New Features in Heart of Milky Way
https://www.nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasas-webb-reveals-new-features-in-heart-of-milky-way/
The latest image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows a portion of the dense center of our galaxy in unprecedented detail, including never-before-seen features astronomers have yet to explain. The star-forming region, named Sagittarius C (Sgr C), is about 300 light-years from the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*.
Amid the estimated 500,000 stars in the image is a cluster of protostars – stars that are still forming and gaining mass – producing outflows that glow like a bonfire in the midst of an infrared-dark cloud. At the heart of this young cluster is a previously known, massive protostar over 30 times the mass of our Sun. The cloud the protostars are emerging from is so dense that the light from stars behind it cannot reach Webb, making it appear less crowded when in fact it is one of the most densely packed areas of the image. Smaller infrared-dark clouds dot the image, looking like holes in the starfield. That’s where future stars are forming.
Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) instrument also captured large-scale emission from ionized hydrogen surrounding the lower side of the dark cloud, shown cyan-colored in the image. Typically, Crowe says, this is the result of energetic photons being emitted by young massive stars, but the vast extent of the region shown by Webb is something of a surprise that bears further investigation. Another feature of the region that Crowe plans to examine further is the needle-like structures in the ionized hydrogen, which appear oriented chaotically in many directions.

The first US lunar lander in over 50 years blasted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Station onboard the United Launch Alliance's (ULA) Vulcan Centaur launch system at 0218 Eastern Time today. Called the Peregrine 1, the lander will reach the Moon in February.

As science developed and measurements were made more accurate, the tests of Newton’s Law became more stringent, and the first careful tests involved the moons of Jupiter. By accurate observations of the way they went around over long periods of time one could check that everything was according to Newton, and it turned out to be not the case. The moons of Jupiter appeared to get sometimes eight minutes ahead of time and sometimes eight minutes behind time, where the time is the calculated value according to Newton’s Laws. It was noticed that they were ahead of schedule when Jupiter was close to the earth and behind schedule when it was far away, a rather odd circumstance. Mr Roemer,* having confidence in the Law of Gravitation, came to the interesting conclusion that it takes light some time to travel from the moons of Jupiter to the earth, and what we are looking at when we see the moons is not how they are now but how they were the time ago it took the light to get here.
When Jupiter is near us it takes less time for the light to come, and when Jupiter is farther from us it takes longer time, so Roemer had to correct the observations for the differences in time and by the fact that they were this much early or that much late. In this way he was able to determine the velocity of light. This was the first demonstration that light was not an instantaneously propagating material.
I bring this particular matter to your attention because it illustrates that when a law is right it can be used to find another one. If we have confidence in a law, then if something appears to be wrong it can suggest to us another phenomenon. If we had not known the Law of Gravitation we would have taken much longer to find the speed of light, because we would not have known what to expect of Jupiter’s satellites. This process has developed into an avalanche of discoveries, each new discovery permits the tools for much more discovery, and this is the beginning of the avalanche which has gone on now for 400 years in a continuous process, and we are still avalanching along at high speed.
