With the laws of physics (currently) prohibiting faster-than-light travel, velocities are limited to a mere 300,000,000 ms-1. By any Earthbound measure that's very quick indeed, but it'll still ...

So why, then, was there a recent story claiming that gamma-ray jets, where gamma-rays themselves are a high-energy form of light, can travel faster-than-light? That's what Dr. Jeff Landrum wants ...

When Albert Einstein said that nothing travels faster than the speed of light, he didn't talk about objects that could already be traveling faster than light. This is a mind-boggling idea that ...
