Warm the fibres up. The speed of light in a medium is dependant on refractive index which itself is a function of temperature.

I believe that objects become heavier the faster they go.

My problem is not that I am fat : it is that I move too fast.

The speed of light

How much of my life am I wasting, sitting here in front of my monitor, simply waiting. Waiting for the photons to leave the screen and land on my eyeballs

There MUST be a more efficient way of running this stuff
