    Speed of light broken

    'We have broken speed of light' - Telegraph

    Just think of the possibilities!

    Though I'm a bit skeptical because even at 1/2 of the speed of light 3 ft would still be covered instantaneously for even very fine tuned instruments.

    epic bollocks

    i may have failed physics but i learnt enough that breaking the speed of light is nigh on impossible in 2007...would also be on the tv if it was true

    I've seen so many attempts of jets breaking the speed of sound and their ending in a bang. Haha, get it.. bang... grr nevermind. =P

    Gonna read the article now.

    Well new physical laws and loopholes are discovered with some frequency. So who knows. Still as I mentioned in my post above I'm a bit skeptical.

    However, Dr Gunter Nimtz and Dr Alfons Stahlhofen, of the University of Koblenz, say they may have breached a key tenet of that theory.
    The answer to it all..

    Well on a more serious note .. Dont think so .. Coz yeah it would be on the TV as Omerta pointed out ..but if they indeed did it - man I would be amazed. Seriously.

    For instance, an astronaut moving faster than it would theoretically arrive at a destination before leaving.
    That makes my head hurt. =(

    Re: Speed of light broken

    Surpassing the speed of light is impossible.
    *Theoretically*

    But I guess, if the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

    lol

    anyway it would be useful for space explorer to use this kind of speed to travel in space.

    This is good as superman being able to fly.... oh wait.

    I think its a bit of a lie tbh, just to get famous and stuff, & yeh it would be on bbc or some national news thing.

    You seriously think that we could successfully apply this kind of physics on a freaking spaceship? Rofl...

    Well, who knows, maybe they did break the speed of light. I wonder what changes will it bring.

    Made me laugh so much


    (copy mode), as Omerta said it'd be all over the news/TV, might even shift Maddie of the front page of newspapers.

    Re: Speed of light broken

    What is actually making me wonder are the contradictions - if this is true there are so many things contradicting it. Now unless what we've been believing over the past century was absolute bull crap - this aint happening.

    Too many paradoxes to overlook.

    Well it's on quite a lot science sites/blogs so it's not like it's a hoax made by that website.
    And people, please look a bit further then just "If it's not on the news it didn't happen".

    I know were your coming from but at one time we thought the world was flat in a few hundred years our decendants will look back on us and think we were idiots and lived like cave people lol.

    I call bullshit on this one. For one, it would have insane media coverage which has already been pointed out. And second, no one has ever been able to disprove Einstein's theory of relativity. Or at least, I don't think so.

    But seriously, if this is true we could expect some Star-Trek stuff in the future.

    Agree.
    Tis one thing coming up with a theory dubbing General Relativity wrong. Tis a whole new vagina when somebody actually puts the theory into a practice/experiment and proving the theory right.

    Havn't read it yet but there are already things faster then the speed of light ;) Teleportation.

    *Reading now*

    Edit: More facts are required tbh. But I believe in the theory :P Time and Space are VERY hard to understand.
