Bingo the Einsteiniano explains why slowing the speed of light in a vacuum is not dangerous for Divine Albert's Divine Theory. The speed of light was slowed down but "this doesn't mean they actually changed the speed of light":

"Last year, a team led by the University of Glasgow in Scotland took the first step and successfully managed to slow light down in a vacuum. They did this by sending photons through a 'mask', which altered the physical form the photons and slowed down their journey. And now a team from the University of Philippines' National Institute of Physics has taken things even further and demonstrated a new way that light can be 'slowed down', simply by changing the way it twists around itself. [...] As we mentioned before, this doesn't mean they actually changed the speed of light - they simply altered its path so it took a longer time to get where it's going. But the potential applications are just as exciting."
In Einstein schizophrenic world arguments of this kind - the speed of light changes but actually it does not change - are highly valued. Without them, Einstein's "theory" would have been long forgotten.
