"If this is correct, it will radically change our view of the Universe. We have to be cautious but it could be revolutionary."
""The Universe may be a stranger place than we imagined because of new evidence that appears to show the very laws of physics have changed since the cosmos was young. Analysis of the light coming from distant quasars suggests that a fundamental physical constant may have been increasing slightly over the past six billion years. The so-called fine structure constant - which measures the strength with which subatomic particles interact with one another and with light - may have been smaller at earlier times in the history of the Universe. "This has major implications for our understanding of physics," Dr John Webb of New South Wales University, Australia, told BBC News Online. "If this is correct, it will radically change our view of the Universe. We have to be cautious but it could be revolutionary. We have seen something in our data - but is it what we think?"" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1991223.stm OffWorld
