Early measurements of the speed of light showed that time was slowing. The answer to that was to use an atomic clock to measure the speed of light and tout the benefits of the accuracy. The clock is slowing along with time so no more slowing of time to be seen!
I've come to really hate "science". Introverts rule that shit, they simply cannot be wrong so they welcome any kind of evidence no matter how bad or how fanciful because that way they can keep their offices and their stuff. They also attack with unfeeling vigor anybody that debunks their fantasies. Circular reasoning goes unnoticed by that crowd.
The very best science I employ nowadays is that of what I can observe or directly trace to an observation. Nothing but the facts ma'm, please. I can't recommend this highly enough if one is seeking truth. Sometimes the truth will escape long enough to be noticed before it's recaptured, not often but often enough...
