Friends: Constancy of light has already been disproven by team that worked under Dr.Kenneth M. Evanson at National Bureau of Standards, which being 2.997924562x10^10 cm./s. This was published in TIME, New York dated 1972 December 04 (i.e. 12041972). The CCU or CCDM did not change it because of its long term impacts. There is a need to review in view of 'newer aspects' for merger of *time unit with arc-angle*. Regards, Brij B. Vij ,[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
