    The slowest light has ever been recorded travelling was 17 meters per second – about 38 miles an hour – through rubidium cooled to almost absolute zero, when it forms a strange state of matter called a Bose-Einstein condensate.

    How do you even measure that?

    Scientists succeeded in slowing light down to 38 mph.
    They did this by shooting a laser through extremely cold sodium atoms, which worked like “optical molasses” to slow the light down. The experiment doesn’t invent any new physics.

    I am sure there is a thing that I call 'chip evaporation'. I only eat about 5 and then the bag is empty!
