I did not say speed of light in vacuum is not constant!!! but light passing a medium has a different speed! this is what causes refraction- look from air into water and u see the effect!
if there are fast electrons in the medium they can exceed the speed of light inside the medium, not the speed of light in vacuum! no space bending needed here ;) well all matter bends space but to little to notice it...
jep thats right! allso happens in nuclear reactors and is known for causing the "Tscherenkow Radiation". These electron do NOT exceede the speed of light in vacuum thogh but by passing through matter light is slowed down and can be overtaken! ;)
but... dont they do this at CERN? i mean, the large hadron collider will be capable of colliding lead-ions and other heavy stuff, two beams colliding head-on. they even have one detector just for heavy ion collisions at CERN.
so the question arises... is this complementary to the experiments at cern? at least it will confirm the results, but can this experiment do anything that cannot be done in a better way at CERN?

@ 4:43 she says "electrons witch move faster than light in a gas volume".
