Sure it can. If the material being used allows one speed normally. And by changing something like voltage you can make the light go faster or take a longer round. Then you can speak of light being “early(Ier)” or late compared to the default state.
- dylan604 3y ago"you can make the light go faster" are you listening to the words you're saying? seriously? yes, we can make light go slower so that the sensor receives light at different times. i'm with you all the way to the point you make some ridiculous not thought out comment about making light go faster. No. Just stop. We cannot do that. We can only slow light down.
- dekhn 3y agoNobody is saying they are increasing c, everything here is relative. You are making many comments that are misinterpreting what people are saying to you.
- dylan604 3y agoThe person literally said “you can make light go faster”
- dekhn 3y agoI think you're being intentionally obtuse and pedantic. Nobody implied that c is being increased beyond c in a vacuum.
- ChrisClark 3y agoIntentionally misunderstanding does not add any value to the comments. Just stop.
- distract8901 3y agoLight moves faster through air than glass. When light transitions from glass to air, it goes faster.
- pierat 3y agoRather than be incredulous and faux-shocked, go look up cherenkov radiation. It's when electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity (speed of propagation of a wavefront in a medium) of light in that medium.
