Feynman would not be proud.


Well, Feynman was a fairly modest person, but I'm sure he would feel just a little bit proud, secretly, that he could now use his models of elementary processes to explain macroscopic phenomena such as refraction.


Of course, he would, as the Zhang paper is one of many examples. However, he would not be proud of your speculation. (Photon slowing down, acquiring mass, :yuk: :confused: :ill: :scratch: :shifty: :shock: :facepalm: :banghead: :dizzy: :sick: :wall: )
