IANAPhysicist but, isn't the speed of light in a vacuum constant? Well, it  
may be being actively debated by cosmologists attempting to explain the  
origins of the universe; but, VSL aside... the speed of light is  
2.998something x10^8 m/s in vacuum.

Sorry, but this is chat, and I figured I ask.
