Okay, ready to tackle the speed of light as it may be affected
by the Theory of the Continuous Big Bang?

A while back I ran across the fact that an astronomer back probably in
the 19th century suggested an early theory of variable speed light.
They were pondering why the light from a star moving toward us in a
binary pair doesn't get to us any sooner than the light from the star
moving away from us. He suggested that perhaps light travels at many
different speeds, but that we can only see the light that strikes us
travelling at c relative to us. I have been curious as to who it was,
but have been unable to find that reference again.

Do any of you guys know who it was?


Google: "Walter Ritz" "Emission Theory"



Thanks John, but whoever it is I'm thinking of was farther back than
that.
