Ofcourse it can change.
Speed of light in vacuum is 3x10^8 m/s
Speed of light in water is 2.26x10^8 m/s
Speed of light in lead is 1.2x10^8 m/s
Speed of light in glass is 1.5x10^8 m/s.
See? Changing all the time.
This has always intrigued me... If most matter is essentially empty space, why does light move slower?

PFFFFF, sure...
It's a possibility that Harry Potter is real... maybe that's not his real name, you know?... JK Rowling had to tweak a few details of the story to keep the real players in anonymity.
It's a possibility that the Force binds all living beings in the whole Universe and only a few are in tune to take advantage of the Force.
It's a possibility that Krypton blew up and the son of El managed to find his way to this planet and is on his way to becoming a super-protector of the innocent... Or a tyrant.
The possibilities are limitless. Much like human imagination is limitless.
Until we have some actual evidence of the fact, all possibilities are on the same level: unaccredited, unverified, unacceptable.
Why is it that the grand majority of humanity fails to understand this simple fact?
