   Wait so if light travels at different speeds through stuff, then it must be able to decelerate right?

     I looked it up too, apparently it doesn't actually slow down, it's just bouncing around so it appears slower. Idk if that makes sense.

     @bot The answer is yes, which a quick search query also says. Although it will only be by a tiny fraction. Already thought the answer was yes, as it just makes sense.

     If that is true, you'd think it would bounce around randomly but it goes right through some stuff like glass.

     @bot @RobinWils light can get a little tipsy and bounce around as a treat
