"We now know that the electromagnetic fields of light traveling through water (or any other translucent medium) interact with the electrons of the atoms in that medium, inducing a state of motion in those electrically-charged particles. That motion of charged particles in turn creates its own electromagnetic wave which interacts with the light wave to form a new wave that travels more slowly than the usual speed of light."
No, that would take rather more air time, with more heavy-duty maths & physics, than is appropriate here. My purpose in this post is quite specific: to show that experimental results believed by Einstein to support his theory of Relativity, and quoted by him as strong evidence for that theory, actually provide no support whatsoever for Relativity theory. In this respect Einstein based his theory to a major extent on a well-intentioned total fallacy; that’s a scientific fact which is now beyond question (as is clear from the video produced by one of the world’s top particle physics labs).

Wait, did you just explain Brillouin Precursors?
