Re:Is there anything faster than the speed of light?
Mr. D. Winsemius (appologies if Doc.) states that whatever your frame
of reference, the speed of light is a constant.  Then he also states 
that light travels slower through water or glass.

 If my frame of reference (s) is on dry land I will get the speed of 
light to equal C (approx. three times ten to the eight m/s). If I now
move to reference frame S` which is under water, assuming the above 
conditions I should measure the speed of light to be exactly the same 
speed AND slower than before at the same time.  How can this be?
