Interesting supposition.

The calculations that "prove" that the Universe is expanding and will continue to expand until heat death; are unreliable. Unproven.

If the speed of light is increasing, then that implies that the Universe would be expanding faster than our current measurements suggest.

Why? you ask.

Given A and B are at a fixed distance, then if the light coming from A arrives at B sooner today than it did yesterday (which it would because it's traveling faster), then A will seem closer to B than it did yesterday.

But how do we prove or disprove that? If your supposition is true, we no longer have a standard for distance. (Or anything else.)

For that, please allow me to say, "Congratulations, citizen, you are now a religious icon."1
