When the speed of light is talked about being a variable its difference
would be like the difference in the speed of light in water vs a vacuum
something like 10%. In the really large scale of the Universe its not going to
have mattered that much only in the first few instances of the Universes very
beginning when all of space resided in an area not much bigger than a basketball
and grew to something like the current size of the solar system in an instance.
At those extremes in temperature and density the speed of light could have been
intantaneous. By 300,000 years when the universes temperature and density was
low enough light could be seen before that all was pitch black and very
hot! In the first few instances of the universe being created
Space and the 4 fundamental laws governing physics were being set in place. The
Gravitational force. The weak Nuclear force and then the electronmagnetic and
finally the strong nuclear force. At that time the universe consisted of
mostly quarks there were yet to be protons and electrons the universe was too
hot for them. As far as a young earth goes and same a young universe
you might as well believe the earth is flat!
