"Nothing in science is ever proven."

You mean we haven't proven the Speed of Light? Or that the Earth's Gravity attracts at 9.8m/ss?!

Goodness! < /mocking! >

Nope. Could be wrong. Or, at the very least, the fundamental principles behind the measurements could be wrong. Thus far the measurements have served us well, but science must always be ready to accept that their discoveries could be overturned tomorrow.

The speed of light varies with the medium and gravitational influence.

The acceleration is not constant but depends on the altitude. "g" will be different in LA than in Denver.

Are you really so uneducated that you've never heard of error bounds?

Or do you really think we've measured the peed of light under all galactic or universal conditions?

Or that the Earth's Gravity attracts at 9.8m/ss?!

It doesn't and you can look up the variance in the Earth's gravitational field on Google. Ask a third grader if you do't know how to do a proper search.
