faster than the speed of light

NEC research institute in princeton NJ usa have broke the speed of light they put a beam of light into a gas filled cavity, results the beam exited the cavity before it entered, causing the partical to be in two places at once. thoughts?
LOOK up the artical and read it.
laze aqu, If I peel your grape you will know it was peeled . go to science.slashdot.org/ article
Her name is aquaagi it should be AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
aquaagi sounds like some form of demented fish. why not something like lady whoop ass.
so you want to make chimps to they make cute little rug rats. Come on down to witherspoons tomorrow night and I will by you a pint or two. to late tonight its almost 9. I am the overgrown neanderthal at the bar. 6 foot 4 inch about 16 stone. just ask anyone who tate is.
you didn't show so sad .
OH lov you can say a lot of things about me but personal hygene would not be an area I come up short in, to mean , to eugly, to tall for you, but not smell bad.
OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO not the spiritual visionaries I hate it when they pop up.
Alas my lov I have had only this life I do not believe in before or after just now and I am not sure sometimes about now
I would think the light merely got bent and did not exceed the speed of light, but took on the appearance of it.
I think they did it
they did it , If they can make pluto a non plant then they can exceed the speed of light. Just ask them they will tell you.
see I told them.
"If I can exceed the speed of light while driving to work in the morning, then surely they can do it in the lab."
Hahaha!!
In school we had a pneumonic to remember the order of the planets in the solar system which went:
"My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Peaches"
No I guess it'll be just:
"My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us...Nothing"
Hey Pluto no hard feelings eh on being rejected as a real planet. I always accepted you and looked up to you as a real planet. Hey for some of us you're still a planet, no matter what the white coat astronomers say.

By Einstein's theories: if one were to perceive light, time would always slow down for them to consistently view it at the constant speed of light.
Ways to go back in time.
1. Go faster than speed of light by movement (impossible).
2. Twist space faster than light using gravity (inconvenient).
3. Use a circulating light beam to twist space and loop time.
4. Put on your robe and wizard hat.

By method 3 - If it were to refract through the gas, slowing down time so that each beam of light would eventually be perceived at the speed of light, particles would begin to travel back in time. Light reflected on a particular (or several) particle(s) that travelled back in time could technically appear before the light entered.
By method 4 - A wizard did it.

Mr Nice do not tax your brain.
you can look up your ass.
Light travels faster than sound. Thats why some people apper bright until you hear them speak.
"However, Lijun Wang, one of the scientists from the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, N.J., says their findings are not at odds with Einstein.
She says their experiment only disproves the general misconception that nothing can move faster than the speed of light.
The scientific statement "nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light" is an entirely different belief, one that has yet to be proven wrong. The NEC experiment caused a pulse of light, a group of waves with no mass, to go faster than light."

I've read far too much of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_general_relativity' title='this stuff'>this stuff.
mmmmm, lots of stretched rubber and flying objects Tongue
I,ll be dam someone with a brain who has gone to the site and read the articals. I am speachless.
Research focused on enabling desktop computers to see the light

Making computers work as fast as light may help compensate that you can't throw them as fast as light Tongue
What is the sounds of a computer crashing in the forest?
Hmmm...
* walks to English police HQ
* puts on blindfold
* turns to face wall
Just remember if the world didn't suck we would all fall off.
which brings up the question is it good if a vaccum really sucks?
Could it suck your brain out or implode your balls?
