Interesting!!!! First I have heard about light being slowed down.......Perhaps its not really slowed down but delayed.......Ie. stored then released to give the impression of a slow down.....
When I was younger I remember a debate about two trains headin towards each other at 100 mile per hour combines speed of impact being 200 miles per hour........Yet with light in the same scenerio it would still be the 186000 miles a second......
