The vortexes that make up and hold together the supercooled atomic clouds in Lene Hau's experiment are running on low energy. They have probably loosened up considerably on the outside edges of the sphere and have begun to form funnel clouds pulling in whatever energy they can find. Because of the low temperatures and altered state of the atoms, the light is able to penetrate and get sucked into these, still very powerful, spherical vortexes. Once the light is inside, it bounces around at the speed of light.

The light can move from one cloud to another by way of worm holes created by the funnel clouds of gravitons reaching out and making a connection between atomic clouds.

My guess is that when light gets trapped in the vortexes it seems to have stopped and gained mass, but really it hasn't slowed. The mass that the light supposedly has turned into has always been there, undetected until now.

I believe Lene Hau's experiment proves the existance of these subatomic vortexes. (link) //www.google.com/search?client=...utf-8&oe=utf8
