    Wade,
    Is that like the speed of light? a condition of the universe? A fact?

    Now I read just a couple of weeks ago that 2 scientific teams not only
    slowed light down, but completely stopped light, and after a while released
    it again.
    They seemed to have changed a fact into a concept, and back into a fact. :)
