So we agree, the speed of light can change if the permeability of space changes...

I'm pretty sure length contraction is considered real, but as I said there is a
contraction/expansion effect that is not real at all.

Who's GUT? I have a GUT that you don't know of, convention lost it's GUT.
Do you have a spare GUT?

This is getting silly, I'm arguing with you and your using I theory I don't understand.
Here is what I stand by with respect to conventional theory:

There are two types of length alteration at high speed, the contraction/expansion one is
considered unreal, The contraction/contraction one is considered real, There are two types
of time alteration, the expansion/contraction one is considered unreal, the
contraction/contraction one is considered real.

The contraction of length and or time from one point of view can keep the speed of light
constant from one direction, but light in the other direction goes doubly overboard.

The above are arguments about conventional theory, not your theory I know nothing of.
