JelloBiafraLight.gif

the other night i was searching through the attic with a flash light when i found my jello.

this has got me thinking. thinking that caused a brain lock. bill nye, please help me.

when shining my flashlight through the jello, the light is changed. light coming out of the other side of the jello is a different color.

now for my dumb science question. is the light coming out of the jello moving slightly slower than the speed of light? was the light slowed at all as slogged through the jello?

obviously light can be stopped my shining my flashlight at a brick wall, but can it be slowed? is the speed of light not a constant?

should i know the answer to this? am i dumb?
