Crap, that means that Spock, Kirk and McCoy will be speaking German.

Germans are always breaking records it seems. This time then went for the big time and took on the speed of light... and apparently won. A pair of German physicists claim to have broken the speed of light - an achievement that would undermine our entire understanding of space and time and possibly change the way we commute to work each day.

Just say NO to Monster Cables!
BOSE free car, priceless.
GEICO is cavemanphobe
Science H. Logic, don't let the otters hear about this.
"Practically every one of the Top 40 records being played on every radio station in the United States is a communication to the children to take a trip, to cop out, to groove. The psychedelic jackets on the record-albums have their own hidden symbols and messages as well as all the lyrics of all the top rock songs. And they all sing the same refrain: 'Its fun to take a trip. Put acid in your veins' ."
I love it anytime we make a mistake, we can simply hit rewind. My only problem is if I had access to this kind of power, time would literally stand still.
The real challenge is to transmit real mass at greater than light speeds but I don't see this happening in our life time.
BTW quarks are said to go faster than light as well and special relativity does not forbid the existence of particles that travel faster than light at all times so Einstein is still the man!
Just how we used to think that the speed of sound could not be broken! We have so much to learn about the Universe. How exciting though!![]()

remember years ago when someone claimed to have mastered cold fusion and it was actually flawed science and bad math? The results were never repeated and the person was discreditted rather quickly. Or when another team of researchers (I think 2-3 years ago) thought they'd moved an object faster than light, but it was just "very fast"? Until this newest claim can be substantiated, repeated, and vetted by the scientific community, its just that, a claim.
Potentially in the next 30-50 years we could be doing Fusion with Helium 3 from the moon! Better buy some land on the moon as it will soon be invaluableremember years ago when someone claimed to have mastered cold fusion and it was actually flawed science and bad math?![]()
Funny you should you mention it, as there are already quite a few companies "selling" land on the moon, such as Lunar Land. Come to think of it, I bet the propety tax burden is pretty low there, just like the gravity!![]()
