Variation of the speed of light with temperature of the expanding
universe

Cláudio Nassif, Fernando A. Silva
Our goal is to reinterpret the Doubly Special Relativity with an invariant Planck energy scale in order to obtain the speed of light with an explicit dependence on the background temperature of the universe. Although finding the speed of light in the early universe much larger than its current value, our approach does not violate the postulate of Special Relativity. Moreover, our approach shows that the high value of the speed of light in the early universe was drastically decreased before the beginning of the inflationary period. Thus we are led to conclude that the theory of Varying Speed of Light (VSL) should be questioned as a possible solution of the horizon problem
