Lee Smolin: "Well, every string theory that's been written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity predict the speed of light has actually increased. And an experiment on the Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope, launching next year, will check this. So I've said, look, if the speed of light isn't universal, that disconfirms string theory. But the string theorists say they could probably invent versions of the theory that work either way. We'd have to change our notion of what science is to accommodate this proposition. You just can't do science on that basis." If the speed of light isn't universal, that also disconfirms Divine Albert's Divine Special Relativity: http://www.fqxi.org/data/articles/Se...lden_Spike.pdf "Loop quantum gravity also makes the heretical prediction that the speed of light depends on its frequency. That prediction violates special relativity, Einstein's rule that light in a vacuum travels at a constant speed for all observers..." If string theory and Divine Albert's Divine Special Relativity are disconfirmed, what should be worshipped? Smolin's loop quantum gravity and Divine Albert's Divine General Relativity of course - both of them predict, explicitly or implicitly, that frequency and speed of light vary together.
