have the beam of light pass through a bunch of shit on the way there to slow it down, and be REALLY fucking fast
you'll need to be an electron or something probably, and you'll need a bunch of shit to catch and throw you at the start and endpoint

Technically the photons will be travelling a longer distance so you're cheating

Theoretically a wormhole but even the maths on that is fucking dodgy and nothing suggests we can travel through that

that literally just means that the light will be traveling a longer distance
that's all that means
the speed of light is constant

No, it doesn't
>the speed of light is constant
The speed of light in a vacuum is constant

Brainlet. High refractive index means the light is bouncing around a lot and doesn't take a straight path
