I saw a TV programme recently where a couple of guys were arguing this, but
it's far from paradigmatic and concretely proven. As far as I understand
it, the suggestion is that in the very early universe, the speed of light
may have been greater than it currently is, and if so this would solve some
of the problems around Einstein's universal formulations.
