Re: The speed of light is NOT a constant?! A milestone in Physics?

been thinking about this - if the speed of light continues to slow down as the universe expands

and E=MC^2 remains in effect - then that means the nuclear power available from fission and fusion reactions will keep decreasing.

As the universe expands the amount of energy that stars (and our sun) is able to produce keeps dropping. The power from nuclear reactors would keep dropping.

Seems like there would be a point where fusion and fission reactions would no longer be self sustaining, and we would have an intergalactic blackout?
