After a quick search I found:
floti.bell.ac.uk
phys.ksu.edu

I read somewhere that it can detect 0.1 degree per hour! That sounds too amazing...

The speed of light is a weird phenomenon. If a spacecraft approaching me at half the speed of light shines a flashlight at me I see the light traveling at 186k miles/second (albeit Doppler shifted). The person on the spacecraft sees their flashlight light moving at 186 kmps also. 186 kmps.... it's the law! <gg>

for what it's worth: the speed of light is a constant or: the Constant (expressed as C, as in E=MC squared) @ 186,000 miles per second. While it can't be sped up, it has been slowed down considerably by one method or another.
