Harvard's never really been known for science feats to my knowledge,
but they should be now.. They've applied a Bose-Einstein theory and
slowed light down. We all know that light slows down in any
medium outside a vacuum.. This means that, yeah, maybe they slowed
it down a couple 100,000 miles an hour.. Well, get this.. They've
slowed it down to 38 miles per hour! This is apparently old news,
but the BBC just posted an article on it, so I just became
aware..
