Every part of that proposed explanation was nonsense.

Yes, nonsense as we now understand it, most great breakthroughs in
physics
have at one time or other appeared to be nonsense, The Earth is a
sphere,
the sun is 93,000,000 miles away, pepole can fly were all considered
nonsense at time. It is sometime difficult to keep a grasp on reality
while
still being able to ponder the things that make for truly great break
throughs in science.

Which require one really important thing, proof, in the form of
documented facts that are reproducible by others. They are missing
here. If it was done in 93 or 95 or whatever (I found more than I date
for the claim on the net), there has certainly been plenty of time for
someone else to confirm the results. Especially considering how much
research is done in precisely this area.
"This area" being making EM waves go faster or slower that normal in a
given physical situation, and even stopping them for short periods of
time.

Tom,
These experiments are time consuming, tricky (very sensitive to external
influences) and expensive to conduct, yielding results close to the limits
of what is measurable. Unfortunately this isn't the sort of research that
can be conducted by an amateur in a shed in the back yard. Unless commercial
applications for experimental findings are found, funds are rapidly switched
to other areas of research looking for a new discovery that might make a
profit.
It's just the way that capitalism works.

And yet they are done all the time by Universities and commercial labs.
Sorry, I don't buy your excuse. If you were a slashdot.org regular,
you would have noticed that reports on exactly this subject come through
every 2 weeks to a month. And many other science news sources report
the same events.
Again, I don't buy your excuse.
