When Manav jump starts a dormant blog, physics becomes weird, forcing him to write this blog. (for those of you who didn't get this line, pardon me for the shitty way of trying to mimic Avengers : Age of Ultron summary).
Don't ask what I was doing when I came up with this "theory" but I still find this interesting (probably because I came up with it :P).
So, my humble version of trying to understand the constant of light is this. Like they say in the Vedas/Scriptures, I am the Universe and the Universe is Me. I think our consciousness is tightly connected to our senses and without any sense, there is no I, there is no consciousness. We can understand the universe only through our senses and since vision is the fastest way, we can transfer information among all the senses(faster than sound and smell? and I dont know if transfer of information through touch even makes sense) and light is through which we transfer it, it is the absolute constant in our understanding of Self/Universe. Bluntly put, nothing can go faster than light among the ways we know and hence light is the universal constant in our understanding of the cosmos. If there has been evoultion in our senses and say we can communicate directly from brain to brain without using sound or light, then we will see universe in a different way and come up with another theory in which light is not absolute constant and something else is! time travel then might look trivial like travel through space.
P.S : I wrote it some time back. It is in my draft folders and felt like posting it as it is.
