>Relativity is as equally empirically proven as conservation of momentum.
This can be construed in multiple ways.

>Light's speed is different depending on the medium. I'm sure you can find an experiment on youtube demonstrating this with water or a prism or something.
The "Speed of light" is a misconception that has turned a complete non-issue into one of the biggest pop-sci mantras repeated relativists. They think it's something traveling when the reality of the matter is that it's simply a phenomena induced to exist depending on the conditions present (the medium as you say). No medium, no light. It's like saying "speed of a shadow". I see those too, and they move...along with the light. They are as phenomenal as the light, they even are observed to cause things like light does.
"c" is bullshit because:
a. To imply "Light "in a vacuum", or imply that such a thing is possible is a contradiction. The light would negate it being a "vacuum" in the first place. This "vacuum" couldn't exist and if it were a true vacuum then there would be no "wave", no energy, no medium for light to propagate in. It couldn't exist, it's incomprehensible to imply it could.
b. The "constant", is really not constant at all. It changes depending on the medium. It also "ceases to exist" when the conditions aren't there to induce it to be the phantasmic dazzle show dubbed "photons", when it's the equivalent to splashing a pond that was...already there in the first place. You're just observing what was already there...being splashed about in a coherent fashion and then calling that a discrete thing in and of itself, and saying it "has a speed". The "speed" is completely irrelevant to what's actually occurring.
