Ati3414 added a link to his paper again, despite the fact that his musings on phase and group velocity are not related to this effect. The Scharnhorst efect is a quantum mechanical effect in which the vaccuum modes are less dense in one direction and therefore the light actually would travel faster in that direction. Trying to argue this away with classical mechanics arguements, not even taking the time to understand the physics here, and worst of all the self promotion ... must be stopped. Ati3414 I'd appreciate it if you stopped spamming your papers all over the physics topics. Thank you. Gregory9 00:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
