It is postulated in Einstein's relativity that the speed of light in vacuum is a constant for all observers. However, the effect of quantum gravity could bring an energy dependence of light speed. Even a tiny speed variation, when amplified by the cosmological distance, may be revealed by the observed time lags between photons with different energies from astrophysical sources. From the newly detected long gamma ray burst GRB~160509A, we find evidence to support the prediction for a linear form modification of light speed in cosmological space.

New analysis of SNeIa Pantheon Catalog: Variable speed of light as an alternative to dark energy
A variable-speed-of-light model with a modified Lemaître redshift formula fits the Pantheon supernova catalog with H0 ≈ 47 and no dark energy.

Monte Carlo simulation of GRB data to test Lorentz-invariance violation
A combined model with both Lorentz-violation and energy-dependent intrinsic delays recovers simulated parameters across all mock datasets and fits multi-GeV and TeV GRB photons, yielding a subluminal LV scale of about...

Examining Lorentz invariance violation with three remarkable GRB photons
Adding three extreme GRB photons preserves the fitted Lorentz-violation scale E_LV ~ 3e17 GeV, but only when an energy-dependent intrinsic delay term, itself a fitting construct, absorbs the new TeV photons.
