Speed of light has to be variant in the Copernican model. Light is a

A bit confused, Bertietaylor?

 Not at all.
 

The Copernican model is wrong, the Sun isn't the centre of the Universe.
And in 1543 Copernicus  knew nothing about the speed of light.

 The Sun is at the centre of the solar system, of which you may have
heard. The Earth goes around the Sun. The Sun and the planets do NOT go
around the Earth in crystal spheres. Where the stars are supposedly
light from Heaven casting their light through pricks on the crystal
spheres.

The solar system moves around the center of our home galaxy and this galaxy around the center of our local super-cluster and that around what only heaven knows.
So: everything moves!
BUT: we could use a simple trick and stop motion for at least the observer.
This would make 'at rest' 'relative' and we could say, that all observers are of equal rights, hence all observers are at rest. But they are only at rest for themselves, while for any other they move.
This means essentially the same thing: everything moves.
That's why the universe cannot have a center (because that center would not move).
Also the so called 'big-bang' must be 'relative'.
This sounds strange and unsatisfying. But I don't think so, because it is actually much easier to understand than current standard cosmology.
