:spock: Now this one I got to see...

If we can slow the speed of light then does that mean we slow an action after the fact?

Apparently this not only can be done but has been done. In this article below, it outlines exactly how it is done.
| QUOTE |
| When atoms become packed super-closely together at super-low temperatures and super-high vacuum, they lose their identity as individual particles and act like a single super- atom with characteristics similar to a laser. Such an exotic medium can be engineered to slow a light beam 20 million-fold from 186,282 miles a second to a pokey 38 miles an hour. |
The article is very interesting if you are the geeky scientific type of person. Some of it goes over my head, especially when it comes to its practical uses. I just can't see the translation.
