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

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.

In QED light is a particle and the speed of light is invariant.

 Paul, retarded narcissist & relativist.
   Forget any local experiment (within the Solar System) about the
constancy of
the speed of light.

Does that mean that you accept that light is invariant
in the Solar system, but not outside our galaxy?
BTW, "invariant" doesn't really mean constant,
it means independent of frames of reference.
For example: mass is invariant, but not always constant.
(But the speed of light is constant _and_ invariant.)

 Come here when you can show off with ONE EXPERIMENT AT GALACTIC
DISTANCE, like
OWLS or TWLS between some planet in a random star system at Andromeda,
to the least.
  Or get proofs for that assertion between another random planet at ESO
6-1 or
NGC 5237, close to the Milky Way.
 WHAT? You can't wait some million years? No shit.
  Then SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP, IMBECILE!

Watch your blood pressure, Richard. :-D
