Speed of Light!!
If time runs slower close to massive body, does this mean speed of light will slow down? If so, then how is speed of light constant?

The speed of light is currently a constant as per classical Einsteinian
relativity. I say "currently" because although it is believed that the speed of light is a constant now, it has recently been proposed by some cosmologists that the speed of light may have had different values during the growth of the universe.
