Light Can Travel Faster Than Light
from the einstein-is-so-last-millennium dept
Roland Piquepaille writes “According to this Economist’s column about relativity, researchers from Duke University in North Carolina have moved parts of light waves faster than the speed of light. “On the face of it, this contradicts Einstein’s special theory of relativity. So, rather than saying, as Einstein did, that nothing can be faster than the speed of light in a vacuum (abbreviated as c), physicists now prefer a more precise version: information cannot travel faster than c.” Check my blog for a summary on how they performed their experiment and why Einstein’s theory of relativity is not in danger even with such results.”

WTF?
Your blog is just a summary of the article. It’s not like the article was that long or anything.
Re: WTF?
Dear Anonymous Coward,
Have you read my post before writing yours? My post was explicitly stating that it waa a summary of the Economist article, not an in-depth analysis.
Thank you, Anonymous Coward.
