Does water in movement drag light? If I put light inside a water current, and the light is going against water's speed, will I see a slower beam of light?

its not dragging light, light just constantly flows and is constantly messed with (direction changed) by the water.
It remains at the same speed.

What if the water current is laminar and there is no turbulence?
>>8548557
same exact thing
its movement in one direction is independent of the other.
If you shoot a bullet and drop a bullet they will hit the ground at the about same time assuming its perfectly flat.

Then, I don't understand Fizeau's experiment.

Yes
Yes i would think you can seeing as that water greatly decreases the speed in which light travels, And as they are particles that move from point a to point b over a particular amount of time then if you where to quickly move the medium in which the light is traveling i dont see what would be keeping the light from following the same path through that medium. seeing as that photons have no mass, it has no momentum to appose the force exerted by the water pulling it in a different direction. But you would have to move the water at near the speed of light to achieve any real noticeable effect.
