Light in a vacuum travels at about 186,000 miles per second. Now a group of scientists has slowed down a beam of light so that it only goes 38 miles per hour.
They did it by sending the light through super-cooled sodium atoms, which worked "like molasses" on the photons.

So much for light being a constant!
So, did the light actually slow down, or did time speed up?
Time's going by too fast anyway. We don't need science "helping" it along :-P
