      From: root@127.0.0.1.retro.com              > Radio and light travel at the same speed              To be pedantic, only through a vacuum...       Light, with less penetrating ability due to its smaller wavelength, will be       slowed down by constant absorption and re-emission by the medium's       molecules. Radio waves will go straight on past.              Space isn't quite a vacuum, so the speed of light may be slightly lower than       the speed of radio waves. Not a factor of 100 though.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
