Was the Speed of Light Much Faster Billions of Years Ago? Is "c" Not Constant?

"Team leader Paul Davies, of Sydney's Macquarie University, says that
if the speed of light has slowed over billions of years, physicists
will have to rethink many of their basic ideas about the laws of the
universe."

"What Davies and his team did was study a 12 billion-year-old stream of
light."

"They discovered it did not have the properties it was expected to, and
by a process of elimination deduced that the speed of light must have
been much faster billions of years ago."

""When one of the cornerstones of physics collapses, it's not obvious
what you hang onto and what you discard," Davies told Reuters."
