    The slowing and resumation of light speed in & out of conducting mediums.

    Is it a fact that light slows down when it passes through a 'solid' conducting medium, such as water, or a prism, and then, after having passed through such medium, reclaims the speed it had before it was slowed down as it passed through the - whatever - solid, transparent medium?

    Request to be directed to an URL which confirms or disclaims this.

    If light slows down and then resumes its speed, as described, isn't there an important question - about a spatial aether conductor - with a corresponding answer here?

    Best regards,

    Excellent thread starter Rascal,I have a question for you concerning this very thread title,
    this question is serious,although it has a humourous angle to it.

    I have been involved in both physical and mental mediumship in the past,not at the present,now tell me this Rascal,does light slow down when passed through a human
    medium? It has to be one thing or the aether!




    warm regards michael.
    Humilty,coupled with boldness,surprises truth to
    reveal herself?

    Re: The slowing and resumation of light speed in & out of conducting mediums.

    In a vacuum light the speed of light is usually believed to be constant, and a particular material at a specific temperature always slows light by the same amount. There are theorems about the speed of light slowing down over time, which if true would cause a slight difference between the entrance and exit speeds.
