		 "Light can travel at the speed of light because it has no rest mass. It can only travel at the speed of light. If it traveled at a speed lower than light, then it would have zero energy, and would cease to exist." 
 
i have a question about this....does light travel at C (the speed of light) through any medium?  If i shine a light through water, does the light travel through the water just as fast as through the air even though the water is more dense.  i know that sometimes light exhibits wave property and sometimes particle property and sometimes both.  I am curious about this though.   
 
Does light only travel at the speed of light through a vaccuum?
