A Light Delay
A Light Delay

Scientists from
Harvard University found out how someone can keep light. A women called
Lene Hau, a physicist, knew how to keep light for 1.5 seconds. What she
wants to find out is like the game when a person whispers something to
another person's ear and the other person has to whisper the same thing
to the last person and the last person has to say the thing that
whispered the first person. So the light is like the first person
whispering it to the BEC (The BEC-Bose-Einstein condensate- is the fifth
type of Matter that you can only find in coldest place ever. When the
strangest known materials are put in the temperate of 0 degrees all of
the atoms collapse into one tiny blob, that's called the BEC).
