By acccepting that the speed of light has been continuously reducing from the point at which the universe was formed, they've worked out that the uncertainty as to whether the Universe is continuously expanding, or going to collapse again in a Big Crunch goes away. Apparently, the Hubble Space Telescope is just beginning to show some evidence for this theory of a reducing value for c. So, in about 4000 000 000 years 137kHz may have become 73kHz. Or Topband, or 10GHz, who knows. Not sure what the implication of a variable value for c really means. Antennas will have to change in length - or will they, perhaps wavelength will stay constant and frequency change. Will my Caesium standard still be accurate ?
