What kind of news is this? I skimmed it and thought there was a new trailer, got my hopes up, watched it, got mad. Instead it's just that the trailer I've watched 100 times is being hosted by Apple? Even that is weeks-old news. Why is this on Slashdot?
The speed of light is constant. When light seems to travel 37 mph through a medium, it's because the light bounces around like mad within that medium, traveling an enormous distance back and forth between various molecules and such, then finally emerges from the medium as though it had passed straight through at a speed of 37 mph. It was actually moving at 299,792 km/s the entire time.
