is relativity any longer relevant?

regular readers will remember that i like science, especially physics and quantum theory. so while i was browsing one of my favorite science blogs from my friend alan over on msnbc, i came upon this little link and it really peaked my interest.

there has been some research recently that conjects that the speed of light is not constant, and has infact changed over time. besides blasting holes right through the theory of relativity by our favorite swiss patent clerk, it could possibly explain a ton of different things that have baffled physicist for a long time now. i really think that you should check it out.
