It's been slowed to 35 MPH I believe in a Bose-Einsein condensate.
_Information_ has been transmitted FTL would in a vacuum in a highly
LASER ionized environment.
The speed of _gravity_  was recently measured within 20 percent
accuracy of the speed of light in vacuum as predicted by Einstein.
Makes for interesting speculation as to will we ever be able
to speed up or slow down gravity and what the results of such
would be doesn't it?
