Hmmm, I suppose to say "light speed is constant" is not saying Light speed is everywhere at all times universaly standard. Does it not mean that within any given medium, light speed does not vary; that is, light does not undergo a process of acceleration within a given medium? I think we know that light undergoes a complex and selective acceleration as it passes the interface of one medium to another.
The hypothetical marble (matter) expanding in a trillionth of a second would necessarily exceed C by many orders of magnitude, a thing which matter is not supposed to do, and in the dense medium of the ether (wisper), it probably can't.
Now if the hyperthetical and much ignored 'ether' were to have also been contained within this marble, who knows how fast matter and light might be able to travel, freed of the shackels of any limiting essence?
cheers,
Doug
