We are often taught that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. This is true in a vacuum (like space). The universal speed limit, c, is unbreakable. But in a material like water, light actually slows down. In water, light travels at about 75% of its vacuum speed. This creates a loophole for high-energy particles. In nuclear reactors, subatomic particles (like electrons) are often ejected at speeds that are incredibly fast—faster than the speed of light *in water* (though still slower

The blue glow is called Cherenkov radiation, and it's caused by very high energy electrically charged particles, such as electrons, traveling faster than the speed of light in a medium, such as water. Think of it like a sonic boom for light. In certain mediums, the speed of light is slower, and particles can travel faster than light in that medium. For example, the speed of light in water is 225,000,000 metres per second, compared to 299,792,458 metres per second in a vacuum, or about 75% the sp
