The SPEED of light in the sun is probably faster than the speed of sound - but with all the atoms in the way, light can't travel that fast. The sun is an example of an enviroment where the speed light travels isn't the same as the speed of light in that material (because the material is actually opaque to light) (as another thought - and given the Heaviside Legacy is in play now - how does a Rainboom relate to Cherenkov Radiation?

Well, I have lots, but I guess it would be cold by the time it got to you (Not least because its a bank holiday here in the UK, so the postal service doesn't run today)
-
What else would I be talking about? there is no sound in space. You clearly need a coffee or three
-
And yet you literally quoted me saying "The sun is the best known example"....
-
Banned because I have to make transformational use or I am violating their copyright (although given the new "well it sorta sounds a bit like it" standard, all bets are off there)
-
Well, I can't be held responsible for what you think, thank Celestia

Not in a vacuum, in the SUN. In the sun, the atoms are fairly closely spaced; the weight of the stellar mass is supported by the pressure excursions (that is, noise) of the fusion reactions in the core, which propagate at about the normal speed of pressure waves in a solid (I think the average is about 17 times the speed of sound in air) so may take a few hundred hours to reach the outer corona (where of course they are lost) Light however, also has to travel outwards from the core, and can take many thousands of years to do so. (also, many things can travel faster than light; they glow blue when they do so) The absolute speed limit for the universe is the speed of light in a vacuum; outside of that environment, all bets are off (but they still can't go faster than 'c')

"you and your party walk down the corridor, as you step on a large flagstone (indistiguishable from several others in the corridor) you hear a faint click. What do you do?"
-
In air, yes. that isn't universally true though. The sun is the best known example
-
Banned 'cos you would make five hundred posts, and you would make five hundred more to be the dragon that made a thousand posts to fall down at this door...
-
I presume fell in to a container not easily escapable, given normally the ants would leave on their own once they have some sugar (to be back, of course, but still...)
-
So, any idea why Flutters is eating as a banner? not objecting of course, but...? -
Because Thunder comes after Lightning?
-
There you are then, I gave you a teacup
-
Banned because it coudn't be helped - Was away visiting my family, and having to use data minutes on my phone at H+ to get here.... thats an odd thing to say...
-
The little yellow type of Minion?

Talk like Yoda you should, or Banned you shall be, yes....
-
Perhaps Steven vs Sugar = Stevia?
-
Banned for not getting the reference (and/or inability to google)
-
Banned because Slartibartfast considers that a threat....
-
This isn't called "tiniest post wins" though...
-
<objects to unreasonably small fonts>
-
No idea, but tempted to stay away from the forum for a while until they undo it....

I think its mostly a SJW thing; they aren't wrong (disposible cuture and people dumping single-use items instead of binning them properly is a major problem) straws aren't largely the problem - plastic packaging is, discarded fishing nets and plastic bags are, but straws really aren't that big a deal that banning them will fix anything. (Also, banned for not banning)
