New Theories / Re: Binary star light speed

Whenever I hear people talk about the possibility of the speed of light not being a universal constant, everybody always says that GPS data proves that relativity is correct. However, if we assume that the speed of light is not constant, but changes by a factor of say (1-v2/c2) then it would be my guess that we would come up with the same kind of "relativistic" changes that are supposedly attributed to length contraction or time dilation. Am I not correct? Similarly, if we dust off the Georges Sagnac experiments and not assume relativity is correct, we can prove that light is dependent on the speed of the source. Whenever I see disproofs of the Sagnac effect, they all assume that "c" is constant. I say assume that "c" is not constant and see what you get.
