Only now checked on it and it averages 1.468, according to one source I
found. I had only used 1.5 as a guess of glass-like fiber optic cable. I
wasn't simulating a real one anyway because I knew they don't have truly
reflective interiors, but it seemed the only way for me to be sure and get a
light beam transported through it. I think I'll rerender a more realistic
model and see if photons can be used on that.
