For you non-physicists let me let you in on a little piece of useful
information. The constant C, the speed of light, occurs and comes up
all over. For example, it controls the wavelength of light emitted by
various processes in stars. Thus, if C were different at a distant (and
we do understand that we mean ancient as well since it take time for th
light to get here) we would see different spectral lines. And so forth
and for example it occurs in E = mc^2.
