The time/distance (velocity) of light has increased without explanation besides our measurements of time remaining constant.The speed of light isn't time / distance. Speed is distance / time.
This means that either - the speed of light has actually changed; or, the normal distances have increased.
The speed of light is usually calculated via this equation though: c = λf.
c = speed of light, λ = wavelength, f = frequency.
I'm confused by your assertion that recent experiments have suggested that the speed of light is slowing down. I can't find any such experiments. Please present the evidence.
We can slow down light, even stop it under certain controls, but the speed of light through a vacuum is a physical constant in physics: 299,792,458 m/s.
I'm prepared to be astounded and proved wrong though. Please link us to the experiments. Extra points for the original research papers or some science journal!
