Does "Slow" Light Respond to Gravity
"Lene Vestergaard Hau (born in Vejle, Denmark, on November 13, 1959) is a Danish physicist. In 1999, she led a Harvard University team who, by use of a superfluid, succeeded in slowing a beam of light to about 17 metres per second, and, in 2001, was able to stop a beam completely." --wikipaedia
Does anyone know if this beam of light would be able to be seen to drop towards the Earth because of the effect of gravity?
