In the center of stars. - (previous answer)
Light has been artificially slowed to far lower speeds
Researchers at the Rowland Institute for Science slowed light to 38 miles per hour in 1999 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_light )

so to answer the question, light has so far been shown to travel the slowest
in a Bose-Einstein condensate
though technically since a balckhole is infinitly small and can trap light, its speed in a black hole reaches zero, but then its not really traveling is it?
As the medium through which light propagates in space is closes to a vacuum, light propagates very well in space. However, it travels at the same speed as it would on earth, as light travels at 299,792,458m/s in a vacuum, regardless of where that vacuum is located.
Things that have mass require energy to go fast. Anything that has mass requires an infinite amount of energy in order to go the speed of light.
Light has no mass, so it can go the speed of light with no problem. In fact, it always goes the speed of light, unless it's going through a material other than a vacuum.
The answer is 38 miles per hour or 60 km per hour.
This is caused by bringing the temperature of sodium to absolute zero then passing light through it.
solid because thats what my science teacher said, i think its something about the waves being able to go through when there are more particles, thats why you cant hear a scream in space!
By changing the temperature of sodium to absolute zero
then passing light through it will make the light go at the speed of 38 miles per hour and 60 km per hour
Sloths are found in the jungle, they are probably the slowest
wat wat wat
The walk is the slowest gait. The walk is the horse's slowest gait.
sloths eat the slowest. They are among the slowest creatures on earth.
I'm very sure that the top speed for a sloth is 1.2 mph and the sea horse rarely goes over the slow speed of .001 mph.
No, light is at its fastest in a vacuum.
The entire electromagnetic spectrum travels at the same speed. The speed of light.
The slowest speed an object can move is zero.
the Elmatross is the slowest
Tachyons are theorised to be the fastest particle in the universe their slowest speed being the speed of light. But until they are proven to exist, light is the fastest thing in the universe.
Tachyon is the fastest thing ever because its slowest velocity is the speed of light! Light is the fastest thing that can be seen.
The light refracts due to the change in speed. The change in speed occurs because the light is travelling through a denser medium. So it will travel fastest through the air and slowest through the glass
light is the fastest thing known to man. The Order of Speed from Fastest to Slowest is. 1) Light 2) Sound 3) Airplane 4) Car
The slowest I've ever seen was 5 MPH, but this was on private property.
Refractive index is the ratio of speed in a vacumme as to speed of light in a medium. The slowest speed of light is attain by use extremely cold sodium atom as light medium and it is succeed to slow down the speed of light from 186,000 Mile/second to 38 Mile/hr (300,000,000 m/s -> 17 m/s). This account to refractive index of 17,621,000
FASTEST when dealing with speed
Light Usually travels at the same speed,670million miles per hour=186000feet per second. Or if you want to be really accurate 186282 feet per second. Its speed cannot go higher than this, it can, however, co slower than this depending on what material you shine it through the slowest light has ever been recorded was just over 60kmph or around 40mph so anyone who has been down the M1 has travled faster than light!
