I think Einstein would object to your statement. The theory
of relativity says everything is relative to the speed of
light fixed at the constant 'c' in free space.

-Sigh-

Another opportunity for you to Fumble an excuse not to perform a
simple computation:

For a dry observer standing on the bank of a pool,
what is the speed of light in water?

This should even be Xeroxable.

No point in waiting for that fumbling excuse (the dolphin ate my
flashlight) when this simple computation is performed here everyday:

2.25408 * 10^8 m/s
