This question is based off of the idea that(as seen in the Guinness
Book of world Records 2000) That a group of scientists in 1996 made
microwaves travel 4.7 times faster than the speed of light. Seeing
that Microwaves are an electromagnetic wave, and light is also an
electromagnetic wave, I assumed that this, kindof sortof prooves that
the speed of light is not constant. (For those of you with the book,
its on page 32.)
Would light move faster, or slower if moved through a substance(that
allows light to pass) if the substance was heated/cooled
I.E. Would the light move faster through cold water or hot water, or no
difference what so ever.
