i came out with the answer as "the brain". but my teacher said that it was wright but there is one more object or a particle which under reseach is said to pocess this quality.he said that it is a -five letter word -with the middle letter as " a ".

scientists are trying to find the existence of particles which travel faster than light.These particles are named as 'tachyons' and they can never be slowed down below the speed of light.These particles belong to a different dimension which means we can't interact with them in either way even if there existence is proved.Although it seems like that it would voilate the basic laws of physics.But mathematically, scientists have derived that in there frame of reference time would travel backwards,"without violating any laws".
It means that in the world of tachyons,, the effect will always precede the cause.i.e. the bullet will hit a bird even before it is fired... a train will reach its destination even before it had started from its initial station...man will die before he's born...
although its amazing to hear it but that's the way nature behaves.
but since tachyon is also a quark the answer for ur quesion should be "quark"

How quickly does a force get transmitted? Do magnetic waves or gravitational fields respond nearly instantly over distance? If the sun "blew up", how long would it be before the change in gravity was observed or felt by the solar system? We might see that before we actually observed the light roughly 8 minutes later for all the good it would do.
It is an academic question anyway.

Galaxy Doh! 6
No I am with Paul F in that due to spaces expansion there are galaxies receeding from each other at greater than light speed. This perhaps is because space expanding is not travel in the same sense as light Ie the galaxies aren't traveling so much as the space increasing.

Well... probably your teacher is wrong!!!.. if she says VELOCITY of light, meaning we assume the light is travelling in a vector could be x, y or z direction.
Your answer should be any object that travel perpendicular to the direction of the light, then you are always faster than the light!!!!
If your teacher means SPEED of light, then the answer should be quark.

I've read in some obscure literature that a particle called a tachyon is not observable till it slows to the speed of light and below. It's normal existence is above the speed of light.(Supposedly)

Tachyon is the name of a particle with the properties of a photon but having the velocity of light as it's LOWER limit. As far as I know, the argument still rages over whether this particle is real or not.

A "quark" is a subatmic particle with the middle letter "a", buit I don't know that it travels faster than light

nothing. absolutely nothing cn travel faster dan light. no matter how hard u try. Time slowing n length contraction will start 2 happen if u approach d speed f light. bt u will never b able 2 reach it. Einstein has given dis as a postulate in Spl Theory f relativity.

According to relative theory of motion no can reach upto the speed of light

Particles which travel faster than light have been dubbed 'tachyons' but none have ever been found.
