There is a fascinating convergence going on between the teaching of the Fathers of the Church and the observations of a cutting edge astro physicist Barry Setterfield. Setterfield has pioneered studies that show that the speed of light is slowing down, contrary to the assumptions of Einstein a Century ago, and that about eight thousand years ago it was infinitely fast, allowing light from the most distant reaches of the Universe to propagate instantly throughout. It means that the cosmic ages of billions of years took place within about eight thousand solar years as observed from the earth.
The precise age Setterfield came up with corresponds
most closely, he also noted, with the age of the earth calculated, not from the Masoretic text of the Old Testament (Torah), but from the Septuagint (the Greek Translation of the ancient Hebrew Vorlage), according to the Fathers, who noted that the Creation began about 5700 BC, give or take fifty years or so.

The curve that describes the decay of the speed of light also looks like the curve that describes the production of current from a photovoltaic cell. As the resistance increases there is a point when there is a rapid drop off of the watts produced by the cell. it follows the same pattern of the drop off of the speed of light as the resistance to the speed of light is increased by the increase in the Zero Point Energy.!
