In the center of stars. - (previous answer)
Light has been artificially slowed to far lower speeds
Researchers at the Rowland Institute for Science slowed light to 38 miles per hour in 1999 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_light )

so to answer the question, light has so far been shown to travel the slowest
in a Bose-Einstein condensate
though technically since a balckhole is infinitly small and can trap light, its speed in a black hole reaches zero, but then its not really traveling is it?
The slowest thing in the world is indeed Doug Cowan. Doug is an engineer who moves at a snails pace when it comes to work, or anything else for that matter.
The slowest speed ever recorded on a speeding ticket was 3 mph (5 km/h) over the limit.
The second slowest animal is the garden snail, which moves at a speed of about 0.03 mph. The slowest animal is the sloth, known for its leisurely pace both on land and in trees.
The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) is considered the world's slowest shark, typically swimming at a speed of less than 1 mph. They are known for their sluggish behavior and are often referred to as "sleeper sharks" due to their slow movement.
Sloths are found in the jungle, they are probably the slowest
No, light is at its fastest in a vacuum.
The speed of light is fastest in air, slower in water, and slowest in glass.
The slowest speed an object can move is zero.
Light travels slowest in a medium with a high refractive index, such as glass or water. This is because light is absorbed and re-emitted by atoms in the medium, causing it to slow down compared to its speed in a vacuum.
Light travels slowest through materials with a higher refractive index, such as glass or diamond. This is because the speed of light in a material is inversely proportional to its refractive index.
the Elmatross is the slowest
Light moves slowest through solids, as the particles are closely packed together and can absorb and re-emit the photons. This interaction causes light to slow down compared to its speed in a vacuum.
Tachyons are theorised to be the fastest particle in the universe their slowest speed being the speed of light. But until they are proven to exist, light is the fastest thing in the universe.
Light travels slowest in optically dense materials like glass or water due to the increased interaction and greater number of collisions with particles in the material, causing a delay in its propagation speed.
Light travels slowest in a medium with the highest refractive index, such as glass or diamond. This causes light to bend and slow down as it enters the material, leading to a decrease in its speed compared to its speed in a vacuum.
Tachyon is the fastest thing ever because its slowest velocity is the speed of light! Light is the fastest thing that can be seen.
All colors of light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is the speed of light. However, in mediums like air or water, the speed of light differs for different colors due to their different wavelengths and refractive indexes. Blue light generally travels slower than red light in these mediums.
