Eh?

I'm not sure where you get that information from, as it appears that you are breaking Einstein's SR too! It is constant (apparently), but maybe you are referring to the accuracy in the measurement of it that has changed, not the actual light itself? Otherwise it would eventually grind to a halt!

Regardless, assuming it should be constant in this experiment, then, yes, they are violating SR. However, SR doesn't take into account Quantum mechanics as it assumes light is a particle, and thus ignores Heisenburgs uncertainty & also quantum tunelling, and thus maybe he does need to rewrite the SR theory to take into account uncertainty. Who knows...after all, we thought Newton had sown up the laws of mechanics until Einstein came along...
