A vector-tensor theory of gravity that was introduced in an earlier publication is analyzed in detail and its consequences for early universe cosmology are examined. The multiple light cone structure of the theory generates different speeds of gravitational and matter wave fronts, and the contraction of these light cones produces acausal, superluminary inflation that can resolve the initial value problems of cosmology.

  1. New analysis of SNeIa Pantheon Catalog: Variable speed of light as an alternative to dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A variable-speed-of-light model with a modified Lemaître redshift formula fits the Pantheon supernova catalog with H0 ≈ 47 and no dark energy.

  2. Revisiting Varying Speed of Light in Cosmology: Insights from the Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker Metric

    physics.gen-ph 2025-05 reject novelty 2.0 of 10

    A varying speed of light in FLRW is presented as gauge freedom via the lapse function, but the key variational derivation omits the √-g measure and the claimed Hubble-tension resolution contradicts Eq. (30).
