Can you think of something more counter-intuitive than the constancy of the speed of light IN ALL REFERENCE FRAMES????But regardless of your understanding of moving reference frames and the gallilean transformation, there are evidences to suggest that the speed of light is not constant elsewhere in the universe.Nonsense. Relativity defines c as the speed of light in vacuum -- which is constant in all reference frames. Clearly, light can slow down by passing it through a medium.Its funny that you would mention the fine structure constant since this one of the evidences that light may not be constant -- from observations of cosmic rays very very far away.
