Oh yea... petsfed:

In regards to your interest in the CMB and its clues to the perturbations that formed what we see today in the cosmos...

You may want to check out a Portugeuse(sp?) Cosmologist and Theoretical Physicist named
Joao Magueijo.

He has a great theory called Variable Speed of Light (VSL), and he's published a paper in the Physical Review D: "Time Varying Speed of Light As a Solution to the Cosmological Problems"... He also has published a book outlining this theory called Faster Than The Speed Of Light, c.2003. His theroy makes very strong mathmatical and theoretical arguments, and it solves the horizon and homogeneity problems of cosmology.

Its a pretty good read, and pretty funny too.

I'm familiar with it, but its too soon to really profess my faith in it. Clever stuff though. Most people are not really prepared to deal with time variable constants, but hey, that's not really my problem. It throws an interesting wrench in radiological dating, as you might be aware.

What I mean when I say perturbations on the CMB, the consensus view is that the clumps in the CMB eventually formed the galactic superclusters we see today.
