Y'know, this just goes to show how little we know about light, and likely the universe in general.
Many of our beliefs are based on the speed of light being a constant, and the fact that it can be slowed by conventional means makes me believe that we are grossly incorrect.
I suppose, though, that it isn't too surprising as gravity is able to affect light as well.
