Such as in the bending of space, like with black holes, they suck light in at
like twice their speed. So it is in this case that light is travelling
faster, relatively. But it's also implied it goes the same speed, just uses a
wrinkle in time. Light moving through water or whatever also goes the same
speed, its just refracted.
