I expect this is a difficult matter to accept given the proposition we all have been presented with ..that light is a constant...

So this may mean that M31 is only a stones throw away if you see my drift.

Hi Alex
Although I have not watched this program, I understood that the Bose - Einstein condensate affected atoms rather than photons, so I dont get the point you are making.
Please elucidate.
