so what if it can go 5000mph? that's nowhere close to the speed of light.
186 000 miles per second.
However,
the speed of light depends on the material that the light moves through - for example: light moves slower in water, glass and through the atmosphere than in a vacuum. The ratio whereby light is slowed down is called the refractive index of that medium.
which leads me to my next observation. Why are the planets round and not cubicle?
