Teleportation, here we come! :O

But wouldn't you know you're leaveing?

Holy shit that sounds awesome

Great. Just great to hear.

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

You wont find any credible sources backing up their work. The reason; their work is BS. I know the experiment they did, and I know that information was not sent faster then the speed of light. Sorry guys, no FTL yet.

YOU PARTICLES ARE NOTHING BUT LOOSE CANNONS

YOU NEVER DO IT BY THE BOOKS, AND YOU SHOOT FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER-

But by GOD, you get the job done.

Read this in a few credible papers yesterday, the experiment is VERY interesting, whats very uniteresting is the the fact, these are photon blah blah blah, and one single particle, the amount of energy required to send a whole living thing through probaly wouldnt be possible.

So for now, we aren't going back to the future

Pfft, until someone breaks ludicrous speed I wont be impressed

Waiting for other mel brook's fans

I personnally think it a credible source... it one of the oldest newpaper in the uk.

but yeah we need other source to back it up.

I actually find some website that could be reliable.

channel4 is a tv new channel in the uk

Space.com was founded by CNN anchor Lou Dobbs and Rich Zahradnik, in July 1999.

Yeah I figured the story would be picked up by more outlets it's just that I think it needs to be veryfied by other scientists.

Ok, what's your point? Are you saying that because this was in a few news paper articles it's correct? The actual experiment they did not produce faster then light communication or travel.

If you read the actual paper, you'll notice a (un)surprising lack of actual data. They don't show or mention any of their actual measurements, etc. Also the paper has several errors, this was one that really jumped out at me "Evanescent modes have a purely imaginary wave number k. This violates the Einstein relation", while they are correct about k, they are incorrect about the energy. Evanescent wave forms don't contain any energy, this also implies that they move at zero velocity.

When you set up an evanescent light wave and bring a second prism with in a wave length of it's origin it becomes possible to have some of the energy "jump" from one prism to the next. But the jump is an illusion, in reality what happens is the evanescent wave is reflected off the second prism, this disrupts opposing configuration of electric and magnetic field with in the evanescent wave, giving it an energy value, and a speed equal to c. There is no faster then light effects being witnessed here. I'm sorry, but there just isn't.

Technically, it's faster than instantaneous, or so the article claims.

No, I've actually heard about this a while back. I recall discussing it with some people I go to class with. It's an enormous step, but the problem is that photons are massless particles, the rules are slightly different. Teleportation is easier when there's no mass involved. Quantum tunneling is a fantastic theory, nonetheless, and we all agreed that it's the next logical step in deep space travel.

Although the light out side the vehicle wouldn't reflect in time to reach your eyes. The light that was already reflecting before you got there, would collide with your eyes, there fore you CAN see things.

Why shouldn't you believe it, you have the link of justice.

God damn, this type of stuff is exactly why I wanna become a physicist working at CERN when Im older, making these monumental breakthroughs or even being involved in them... I couldn't imagine how it would feel to be the person who invents faster than light travel.

Still, after the evidence read, I don't really believe in it all, maybe when more detailed reports are published or it finally hits mainstream media and the entire world is broadcasted this breakthrough Ill believe.

But seriously, if someone really did break the speed of light then why isn't this on every news channel constantly giving updates? Eh, maybe people just don't care.

well not to be pessimistic nanny, but that sounds like a fake.

they only said they did it without provide any reasoning or how they did it.

besides, if they were right and they really did break the speed of light, then everything we know about traveling at high speeds would be false.

It's happend before. Scientists use to think that no object could break the sound barrier. Hell they use to think 80 mph was a human speed barrier.

I'm not saying its impossible, I'm just saying it would change every thing we know about moving at high speeds.
We know/think that as speeds increase mass increases. As mass increases it becomes harder for the object to move, which is why nothing can travel at the speed of light. It has no mass, so the faster it goes there is no increase in mass because anything x 0 equals zero.

It should be possible, but I doubt they've done it in a manageable manner.

And the article, along with the paper is wrong.

No, the rules are the same, there just pushed to the breaking point, beyond which nothing is likely to exist.

Teleportation is easier when there's no mass involved.

Hun? I assume you mean rest mass, and if so this statement isn't true.

Quantum tunneling is a fantastic theory, nonetheless, and we all agreed that it's the next logical step in deep space travel.

No, it isn't. The next logical step in space travel is ether ion drives for interstellar travel or continued use of conventional rockets for interstellar.

No they didn't. It was known for a long time that many things could break the sound barrier. Whips are a good example. No scientist worth there salt brought up a good argument against faster then sound travel.

There going to jail for breaking the law.......... Of science.
