Need more info on laser light...
From CNN:
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/TECH/space/07/20/speed.of.light.ap/#graph
Scientists have apparently broken the universe's speed limit.
For generations, physicists believed there is nothing faster than light moving through a vacuum -- a speed of 186,000 miles per second.
But in an experiment in Princeton, New Jersey, physicists sent a pulse of laser light through cesium vapor so quickly that it left the chamber before it had even finished entering.
The pulse traveled 310 times the distance it would have covered if the chamber had contained a vacuum.

We as humans are very sure of ourselves and our beliefs even when it has been shown over and over again that we are usually wrong in our beliefs. This said,,,,
Of course there are things that travel faster than the speed of light. We just do not know what they are yet. They are beyond our present rtealm of undersatnding but that does NOT mean they do not exist. I can say for sure that history has proven that no matter what you think, feel or believe,,,, chances are you are wrong.
Of course there is something "out there" or even right here that we are presently unaware of and or unable toobserve with our limited perceptual; capabilities that exceeds the speed of light in movement. we just do not know about it yet, that is all and it is really very simple. We as humans are ( obviuously) not vey smart at all are we?

The warp force works by using the shown fact that even although rely or something with mass can't shuttle swifter than mild, area itself can. which potential that's not the deliver that strikes, that's area that strikes by using the business enterprise collapsing the area in front of the deliver and increasing the area in the back of it. in fact it shortens the area from mild years to 300 million kilometres. As to the G forces, there at the instant are no G-forces to to be worrying approximately. The warp force isn't a brilliant powerful antimatter rocket, yet an engine that strikes area. and because that's area that strikes and not the deliver, then there at the instant are no G-forces by way of fact the deliver would not strengthen up.

Is it reproducible? I've heard all kinds of reports of physical constants being disproven, only to have subsequent work find that the initial work was shoddy.
So as far as I'm concerned, the speed of light remains the limit. Most Scientists agree with me :-)

If you take a flashlite and shine it at the left end of the milky way and move it to shine at the right side of the milky way that light beam will traverse the milky way faster than the speed of lite!

Orrrrrrr......maybe they just established a new maximum definition of the speed of light - a laser beam is (simply put) amplified light isn't it?

Could ya fit that thing under the hood of an old Chevy.
I could make all the light's !

Yes I have heard about this. Sadly its useless right now. It even says on the link that it cannot be used to send data and or objects.

Your CNN reporter should learn some physics before he reports.
