In 1999, experiments were done at Harvard, Smithsonian, and Cambridge to slow light down using a specially treated cesium gas. The first
experiments yeilded light to 38 MPH. Two years later, they stopped light, and then released it again like a material particle. It was also able to be
speeded up to 300 times faster than normal.(See David Whitehouse, science editor, Beam Smashes Light Barrier, BBC News, July 19, 2000; See also William J. Cromie, Physicists Slow Speed of Light, Harvard University Gazette, Feb 18, 1999; See also Malcolm W. Browne, Researchers Slow Speed of Light to the Pace of a Sunday Driver, New York Times, Feb 18, 1999)
Since the constant speed of light has been disproven, that means all measurements based on light speed distance cannot be determined to be accurate without claiming absolute knowledge of the universe. Red Shift, for example,
ASSUMES the speed of light is a constant, it
ASSUMES light has always traveled at the same rate, and it
ASSUMES that the light has not traveled through anything that may change its speed and/or appearance.
