Well on the show the demonstration showed a light beam..2 klms long (say) hitting the condensate ..at that point the light shortened to 2mm or something real short but in that region...and slowed to the pace of a push bike...when it got to the other side and exited the BC it lengthened to 2 klm and resumed its speed of 300,000klms per second...
Maybe I misinterpreted things but that was what I took away from that part of the show.

I can explain why of course if this is a fact but until it is a fact I will hold back
