Hum. stars not actually fixed. They just move a lot slower than planets.... But given infinite time they move quite a lot.
I am proposing that within our universe c represents the relationship between space (which you can measure in m) and time (measured in s). This law of nature can be seen in the relationship between how radiation occupies space (wavelength) and time (frequency). 'Speed' is an redundant concept.So how does that work? What does this formula describe in your theory and what is this speed which is calculated by it?
I am not claiming that the sun's position in 3d is changing. I am saying that the sun's gravity and distance from the earth is such that there is difference in relative time of 8.5 minutes. In the same way other stars may be 100 years off. Temporal displacement = Spatial displacement / c (or something like that).The sun's position in and of itself can not really be off by 8.x minutes
That's not strictly true. The Earth and Sun both orbit their shared barycenter. That's how distant planets have been discovered - by measuring a star's slight movement caused these small stellar orbits.
Is your theory applicable only to electromagnetic radiation and is speed as a concept in that context redundant or is speed redundant for all kinds of objects as well?I am proposing that within our universe c represents the relationship between space (which you can measure in m) and time (measured in s).

A theory like this would need to be applicable to any and all wavelengths and not only to those that we can perceive (visible, audible or by feeling), which are only a very tiny subset of the infinite possibilities of wave lengths. Any interpretation based on the perception of a human being in this, should be factored out.And when it comes to perception of us humans, you would even have to factor in the speed of our neural systems (less than 'c'). What we see is always off by a tiny little bit since our eyes and brains require a certain "processing" time to assemble the picture we see as the current (subjective) reality.
However, we're all inside this same plain of motion so the sun is as "fixed", relative to earth, as it gets. And 'c' is constant as well.

I would think it applies to everything, however within our close scale (where Newtonian mechanics work well) the notion of speed is a convenient way of representing it.Is your theory applicable only to electromagnetic radiation and is speed as a concept in that context redundant or is speed redundant for all kinds of objects as well?
My 10-year old son came to me last night with an idea that thought was so cool I have to share it.
What if beyond the edge of the universe there is an infinate non-dimensional space (n-space). This n-space has a gravitational pull so vast it reaches to the center of our universe. This n-space gravity was responsible for tearing the universe open in the big bang (NOT an explosion… fission!) and accounts for the outward acceleration of it ever since.
