If the speed of light was much faster at the beginning of the universe than it is now, wouldn't that mean that our calculation of the age of the universe is WAY off? (i.e. the universe is much younger than previously thought?)

Or taking it in the other direction, this still doesn't mean it's possible to accelerate faster than light. The implication is that eventually nothing can move as the speed of light approaches zero.

There was another announcement last week about someone that had developed a technology to transmit data at 4x the speed of light. Now - don't flame me - it was an AP story.... I am not smart enough in physics to really know if it is a fraud or not.
