Eureka! Scientists break speed of light
OK, I'm sure you know my obsession with all things speed-of-light related… They've slowed it, stopped it, and now managed to make it run 300 times faster. If you're not up to reading the article, here are some implications:
- Faster than light / Instantaneous communication over huge distances — potentially allowing us to communicate with beings in distant starsystems.
- Further proof that subatomic particles can exist in more than one place at a time, and that there is little distinction between space and time.
- Suggests that causality (that a cause must come before an effect), along with several other basic concepts of physics, may be flawed notions.
- Further evidence that time travel, at least on some basic level (such as sending bits of information through time), is plausible.
If you thought the world did some big changing in the 20th century, you ain't seen nothing yet. These next hundred years are going to be insane…
