A vacuum can change the way light travels when subjected to extreme magnetic fields.
Why it is true
An international team used observations of a magnetar, a neutron star with a magnetic field billions of times stronger than Earth's, to confirm a 90-year-old prediction of quantum electrodynamics. The effect, called vacuum birefringence, causes light to polarize in different ways when passing through a vacuum under intense magnetic fields.
