A question about light speed.

[Rota]

Agreed. That is an excellent find.

+rep from me as well.

Thanks And being an engineer helps a bit

[KJ&nisha]

what practical uses can be made from slowing light down, also would it be possible to give light density since they were able to slow it down? if they can give it some sort of density or good use then ill acknowledge it as a worthwhile experiment

[Sooria]

Light has different properties and has to be looked at from a scientific point of view in order to understand its behavior and properties. I have posted a website below that explains it well without the scientific mumbo jumbo that sometimes we get lost in, however, remember that this is just an overview not with the latest in discovery Hope it helps!
