As a general rule, light travels more slowly in any medium more dense than a vacuum (which, by definition, has no density at all). For example, in water, light travels at about three-fourths its vacuum speed; in glass, it moves at around two-thirds. wheeee....does this mean that those of us who missed the JDSU and GLW parabolas can get in on the act earlier.... go hogwild and buy your local water utility? i mean, talk about fat pipes... thanks for a fascinating article.

"The key finding is that the reconstituted pulse re-forms before the original intact pulse could have gotten there by simply traveling though empty space. That is, the peak of the pulse is, in effect, extended forward in time. As a result, detectors attached to the beginning and end of the vapor chamber show that the peak of the exiting pulse leaves the chamber about 62 billionths of a second before the peak of the initial pulse finishes going in." What of the order of appearance of the leading edge of the pulse at the entry and exit of the chamber?
