EVIDENCE from Supernovae, the CMB, and the geological record supports a Unified Space/Time. Theory provides a simple explanation for problems of current cosmology. In review, a simple principle states that Space and Time are one phenomenon, related by factor c the "speed of light". Scale R of the Universe is related to its age t by R = ct. Relativity and gravitation then require that c be related to t by GM = tc^3. Together these expressions form a solution to Einstein-Friedmann equations with stable density (Omega) = 1. Scale, horizon, density and redshift data may be predicted without hypothetical energies. The cosmic microwave background provides a first test of theory. First acoustic peak indicates a density (Omega) = 1 as predicted. Uniformity in the CMB indicates a much higher primordial speed of light. Lack of large-scale fluctuations appears to rule out inflationary models. In contrast, Theory's predicted spectrum is a close fit with both WMAP and COBE data. Observations of Type Ia supernovae provide a second test. Low redshifts increase linearly, again indicating that (Omega)=1. Higher Z data appears to curve upward, leading to speculation about acceleration and repulsive energies. Alternately, the data shows that c has changed exactly as predicted. Theory's predicted curve fits the data more closely than any other model, without conjuring invisible energies. To distinguish "c change" from accelerating Universe models, corroborating data is required. The standard solar model predicts that during formation the Sun was only 70% as luminous and early Earth would have frozen solid. Geology and the fossil record contradict this prediction. Since the Sun converts fuel to energy according to E=mc^2, higher c in the past means that the solar luminosity has been nearly constant over 4 billion years. Combined with supernova data, evidence indicates that c has changed at precisely the rate predicted. Since Space/Time predicts results not epicycles, Theory should be considered as an alternative to more cumbersome ideas.
