If you read down in the article the lower alpha means a faster speed of light. In other words cdk. This has been coming from a gathering and diverse group for over a decade now.

There are a couple of guys over at Berkley and a Russian Physics dude...etc. This is just one more added to the list. It'll still probably take another 10-20 years before all the empirical evidence has enough weight to make it mainstream. But cdk seems to be the gathering momentum ,(for the moment,) as the most promising solution in the quest for the mythical universal constant.

OOPs!

I misread it. This seems to say that c is increasing. This seems to be going against the trend. As well as empirical evidence, such as the decay of the cesmium atom as compared to orbital time. Oh well, we'll have to wait and see. For now, I am going to leave my watch set as it is.

You're forgetting what CDK claims. CDK says light was 11 million times FASTER than now, 6000 years ago.

The article says light was slower and alpha was higher by a factor of 4.5 parts in 10⁸, 2 billion years ago. Wrong magnitude, wrong timescale, wrong sign.
