Let me get this right, you are now saying the Universe is awash with the BE condensate?

No what I am saying is cold to any manner relevant... as it is cold out there could it be that such a condition varies the speed of light to a small degree that we have not yet contemplated... a curiosity presents to me in which I am trying to see possible effects and implications "out there".

I suppose the gravity push idea sees a Universe that exerts a pressure by way of particles ...when pressure enters the picture temp is relevant...and so you can perhaps appreciate my particular interest in the aspect of cold in space...

Anyways I have decided to write the book it will all be in that

Thanks Steve your input it is always so interesting and informative..nay educational for me.

Hi,

Correct me if i am wrong, but in high school I learnt that the speed of light is a constant for all observers in a particular medium. For example the speed of light in a vacum is higher than the speed of light in water which is higher than the speed of light in glass. The speed difference is responsible for the refraction effect and for rainbows.

This is a simple fact, no need to bring in Bose Einstein condensates or imply that interstellar objects are nearer or further away because of the proven fact that C is different in normal everyday mediums.

Cheers
Paul

I cant correct you because I was not there when you learnt such however that is the way of it..and there is nothing in what you have said that I could disagree with..
