I thought this sounded a little familiar...

Occam’s Razor : look for simpler reasons. Remember too, there are atmosperic interactions here. To verify this 4 minute delay you need space based gamma ray telescopes free from atmospheric effects. I’m sure that many will look at this and find all sorts of reasons to “save” relativity. I’ll ponder this as a good conundrum to get off to sleep tonight.

Markarian 501, a galaxy 500 million light-years away that contains a blazar - a supermassive black hole that periodically releases bursts of gamma rays
That sentence rates a perfect 10 for scientific coolness! It's totally StarTrek-worthy.

Rays move at the speed of light in a (perfect) vacuum. Perhaps the vacuum in space is imperfect enough that it results in slightly different speeds for different wavelengths (the same effect as light traveling through glass, only much smaller).
