Today In science class, I learned the known universe roughly built around the Milky-way. Through this I had a thought: If gravity can alter the course of light, than it can also speed, or slow it. Learning in the same class that the universe is layered much like an onion, I theorized that light would speed in reaching us from afar, but slow once in short range of us. I am laughing right now, just a few short years ago my bro Ronintendo voiced a theory, that the universe orbits the Earth, it now seems well possible.
