Evolving Electromagnetism?

Posted by Hemos on from the probably-not dept.

nugget writes "An article in the Sydney Morning Herald announced that scientists led by a team of NSW University astrophysicists in Australia have found evidence that one of the fundamental forces of physics, electromagnetism, has changed since the universe's creation some 14 billion years ago. This may prove what many scientists have suspected for some time. Electromagnetism may be relatively new and might have evolved sometime after the laws of physics started with the big bang. If it's correct, this is big news."

    Well... First off I think that the person above who said that light is always the same had a pretty set 1-track mind.... and I hate people like that. Especially because you think god created everything and that's just the way it is. *Everything* is perfect because god made it that way. ...Bull. I'm not athiest. I believe in god strongly, but you need to stop hiding from the unknown behind that belief. God may have created the universe, but what mortal man made it the rule that the universe cannot change at all? What if god intended it to be this way? Man (or woman for the damn PC people out there) has no right to speculate on the motivation or the plannings of 'god's creations. People like you insist that the earth is only around 4 thousand years old (according to the bible) when we have perfect evidence that its age is in the billions. People like you started the Crusades that killed hundreds of people just because they thought differently. People like you killed and put into jail and killed the great thinkers of the past. This new theory about the universe is not the danger... your own set disposition is what dangers the progress of science and of our society in whole...
