The epola structure is analagous to that of the NaCl (poly)crystals.1. Here the velocity square of elastic (sound) waves is the quotient p/d of elastic energy density by mass density, thus of the Na^+ Cl^- ion pair's binding energy E by the mass m of the pair, c^2=E/m=8eV/58amu, yielding c=3.8km/s. In the epola, c^2=E/m=1.02MeV/1.82 10^-30kg, yielding c=300,000km/s for the velocity of elastic (elctromagnetic) waves in the undisturbed epola. In space regions with a massive presence of heavy nuclei or nuclear bodies, the epola is disturbed and the wave velocity reduced: by a factor of 2 in epo-liquid, of 10 in epo-gas, and down to zero in voids (no sound in vacuum, no light in black holes). Uneasy to deny the canonized ``universal constancy'' of the VLV, people use the variability of the FSC.2. However, the "fundamental constant" 1/137 value of the FSC means just that the electron velocity on the ground-state orbit of the H atom is 137 (``magic number'' times smaller than the VLV. Hence, the FSC variability means also the variability of the VLV.
