Scientists Claim To Break The Speed of Light!

I don't buy it until some more credible sources report it and other scientists back it up.

[UberKuri]

I invented light speed.

[Mr-Silv3r]

Damn quantum particles being able to break the law!

It's unconstitutional!

[Dookiemaister]

DONT MAKE ME READ THINGS!!!

[Xavon]

If thats true then that's amazing. If not, well fuck, uber space warp travel = nilch. :(

Technically if you read into what they're doing, "Quantam Tunneling" isn't breaking the speed of light, they're cheating lol.

that weird me and a friend of mine had this discussion not a week ago. he claimed based on theory that it was impossible. i told him that until you conduct experiments proving that it cant be done, that it was still in the realm of possibility. if this is true it would just be proof i was right (my favorite words)

[sidegunzmad10]

i invented the man who invented light speed who then crated a human to take credit

[DenEmiel]

That's pretty amazing, thanks for making this thread.

Being able to travel faster than the speed of light would lead to a wide variety of bizarre consequences.
For instance, an astronaut moving faster than it would theoretically arrive at a destination before leaving.

Paradox?

what the hell did that mean? it's like the longest limo.

but think if it where possible! there are countless things we cant explain, maybe as our understanding of things grow, more discoveries like this will become frequent.

Only if time is a continuum.

OMG its gonna be like HALO
jk

[HTID]

It's odd how you can be somewhere before you even leave...

[hukedunfonikswork]

Making travel instantaneous could result in fantastic possibilities. From what I read they were only able to send through light particles, but maybe in the future mass could be sent through.

Lets say we find out we can make things go faster than the speed of light, the way the world works, as soon as someone finds out and proves something previously thought impossible is possible, everyone starts to do it. Kind of like the 4 minute mile. If this is the first real step in that direction, big changes could happen, or nothing at all, either or.

neat find

[Danish-Cartoonist]

You spelled his name wrong, fool...

[Thearium]

It should be true that an object requires infinite energy to move at the speed of light, but maybe Einstein was wrong.

Well I'm just used to calling him Albert. Asshole.

Nope. He'd be there after he left, its just the reflected light of his particles would appear to be where they were before he left because he moved faster than the light could reflect.

:I think.

[Lil-Jimmy]

I hope it's true, because that would be amazing, technologically speaking.

[Buoy]

If that happened to be true there would be a whole lot of fuzz with scientists claiming it as bullshit and lies- then a few laters we would all have something more to laugh of, like how Sir Harold Jones told people that "Space travel is bunk"

[Superperpel]

Everyone here seems so smart.

[Mufakamills]

Time travel?

Arriving before leaving? WHAT?!?!

[Superperpel]

I know, how can you arrive at a destination before leaving? That makes absolutely no sense.

[AustinR]

If you broke the speed of light you wouldn't be able to see anything, due to the fact that our eyes see from how light refracts off of objects, but if we were moving faster than light then the light wouldn't have time to reflect off objects and return to our eyes, also if our body was moving that fast then when we stoped out bodies wouldn't be able to adjust and we'd probly die in the most horrable way imaginable (as the story goes)

You'll be there before we'll be able to see that you left as you'd be faster then the light reflecting off of you.

Kind of like when someone breaks the sound barrier, they fly by and after that you hear the sound.

That's why we test time travel on animals first.

As I stated earlier, for those other than these two who have a brain
and can figure it out on their own.

blah blah, too much quoted, blah blah blah blah blah
