        @neiltyson I must be a scientist when it comes to tv commercials. I believe just the opposite of what the commercial says/predicts/promises.

        @bilgladen @GabrielFornes the answer to both is yes. I move faster on land than in the water and light moves faster in a vacuum than water.

        @GabrielFornes @ToddQuest Color is just a different frequency of the waves - the speed of propagation of the waves is still the same.

        @GabrielFornes @ToddQuest Yes, different frequency = different wavelengths, but the propagation speed will be the same.
