What's cool is scientists have been able to slow light down to like 35mph. It would be more acurate to say the maximum speed of light is 186,282.4 miles per second. I've always been interested in the actual definition of what light IS. Visible electromagnetic radiation is the best explaination anyone has ever given to me and it was from this thread - thank you TFP
(I still have little idea what that means, though. My head would probably explode violently but feel free to give a more detailed, technical, explaination someone
)
