    I searched a little and found a little more information about Alan on this web site http://www.ldolphin.org/cdkgal.html

  2. Speed of light slowing down? on Universe May Be Running Out of Time · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I came accross this information. Seems if light is slowing down why not time? Australian physicist Barry Setterfield and mathematician Trevor Norman examined all of the available experimental measurements to date and have announced a discovery: the speed of light appears to have been slowing down over the years. [Roemer, 1657 (Io eclipse): +/- 307,600 5400 km/sec; Harvard, 1875 (same method): +/- 299,921 13 km/sec; NBS, 1983 (laser method): +/- 299,792.4586 0.0003 km/sec.] They all are approximately 186,000 miles/second; or about one foot/nanosecond.)3 While the margin of error improved over the years, the mean value has noticeably decreased. In fact, the bands of uncertainty hardly overlap. As you would expect, these findings are highly controversial, especially to the more traditional physicists. However, many who scoffed at the idea initially have subsequently begun to take a closer look at the possibilities. Alan Montgomery, the Canadian mathematician, has also analyzed the data statistically and has concluded that the decay of c, the velocity of light, has followed a cosecant-squared curve with a correlation coefficient of better than 99%.

    That's called not knowing the operation of your phone. You can turn off the email account, which will stop it from syncing. No problem.

    And the Neanderthal man was declaired in 1958 by the National Zoological Society to be a man suffering from arthritis. Still, evolution does not prove or dis-prove the creationism, but microbiology has proven that evolution is no longer a valid argument. DNA is a digtial code, it does not change. Michael Behe's Darwin's Black Box is a great read.
