What Determines C - The speed of light in a vacuum
In physics C is often described as a "universal constant". This is not exactly true.
Theoretical models that interpret the vacuum as a very active quantum foam suggest that the speed of light is the finite value we observe
because of this quantum activity, implying that in the absence of this activity, the speed would be higher and potentially infinite.
So the answer is: The speed of light is totally determined by the quantum properties of the vacuum.
So if we could modify the properties of the vacuum we would change the speed of light.
