Hi, this is probably a silly question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere:
are the effects of relativity calculated with reference to the speed of light in a vacuum or the speed of light in the medium in which you are traveling? For instance, if traveling in water, would the Lorentz factor be calculated based on c ≈ 3e8 or c ≈ 2.2 e8?
