Just a quick note to say that Riofrio now has evidence of a changing speed of light. See her blog:

Riofrio Cosmology is a theory proposed by astrophysicist Louise Riofrio that suggests the speed of light may not be a constant, but rather has been gradually decreasing over time.
There are a few key pieces of evidence that support Riofrio Cosmology. One is the observed acceleration of the expansion of the universe, known as dark energy, which can be explained by a decreasing speed of light. Additionally, the observed discrepancies in the ages of the oldest stars in our galaxy and the age of the universe can also be explained by a changing speed of light.
In the traditional view, the speed of light is considered to be a constant and is a fundamental part of Einstein's theory of relativity. In Riofrio Cosmology, the speed of light is not a constant and can vary over time.
If Riofrio Cosmology is proven to be true, it would have significant implications for our understanding of the universe. It could potentially change our understanding of the history and age of the universe, as well as how we interpret other astronomical phenomena.
Further research and observations are needed to fully support or refute Riofrio Cosmology. This could include more precise measurements of the speed of light, studying the behavior of light in different environments, and gathering more data on the expansion of the universe and the ages of celestial objects.
