on T.V. (science channel I think) a scientist made some tiny particals go faster than light?

Question

So as I thout all along (and probably some others to) it is possible to break past the barriers God set in place to help protect us; we just have to figure out how to do it, and how to do it safely.

So my question is how do you actually get light to move something(push,pull, spin, whatever)?

Answer 1

Perhaps this is what you are referring to?

Answer 2

It's perfectly possible to go faster than light IN A MEDIUM. In any medium other than a vacuum, light is no longer moving at the speed of light in a vacuum, so you can theoretically make particles move faster in that medium than light can. That's how neutrino detectors work - look up 'Cherenkov radiation'.

Physical laws are physical laws and we have evidence for them. No evidence for god, so leave god out of science.

Photons (light particles) have a certain amount of momentum they can exert. You wouldn't notice it unless you're pretty much away from anything else that could be presenting a force on you. That's how solar sails work.

Answer 3

Light particles (photons) do exert a pressure on anything they strike. The problem with this is that the mass of a photon is so tiny that the pressure exerted is extremely small. It would be like if you were in a row boat with a bb gun shooting at an ocean liner beside you in the water. The bb's in fact would exert pressure on the ocean liner however, the amount they would move it in the water would be nearly immeasurable.

Answer 4

Light itself is a sub-atomic particle that is found in he protons and nutrons . No scientist can ever create any particle smaloler than these sub-atomic particles becuse all tha material with which any scientist could thnk of making any somaller particle would be biger than the su-atomic particle as no substance exists at a level lower than an aome which is composed of an electron and a proton in the minimum.
The very shighest speed of light is because of the lowest mass it has . The lower the mass the higher the speed of he particle in motion.. As speed increases , the mass of he particle in motion also increases in direct proportion . As the mass increases , the speed is of the particle in motion is reduced . No particle could travel at any speed in excess of the limit set by its mass ,
So een assuming thatwecan create any particle smaller than the sub -atomic particle of photon , i can no be used to push anything even as fast as he light iself as it would be required to puch something that is bigger than the photon. Nothing biger than the phtoton can go at the speed of light .To move faster than the ligh something should be lightere than light and anythng light ere than light can not carry anything heavier than light .Nature has set a limit on everything except space , the boundless being o non-being .It is "NOTHTING " . That is why it has no limit . That is why it is lighter than light - becuse it is nothing and has no mass or body or quality . It is neither small no big. It neithere shrinks nor expands as anything to have the character of shrinking or expanding should necessarily be a THING , if is to expand or shrink. As it is nothing , it neithre expands not shrinks . It EXISTS as NOTHING . Nothing in he unierse can exist wihout this NOTHING . But it can exis without anything to support it . But is necessary to support the existence of anythng and everything .
Thre is only one thing hat is speedier than light and it is so because it has also not mass . It is gavity . It is speed is unknown and incalculable . It is an istnt force . light kes a least eigh minutes to reach the earth from the sun . But is the gravity os the sun is switched of ( if it can be done ), he earth and all the planets would beflying at the tangent at the very moment instantaneously . it will take no time for he planets to fly of from theit solar orbits. This gravity has no opposite force and nlike magnetic force and electric force , it does not repel the same force of gravity . Gavity of one mass atracts all the masses of graity. I neer repels anything . I i could repel anythg , it can be used to even fo oner-planetary and iner galactic travel with instantaneous speed !.No galaxy however far it might be and even if light itself takes several million light years to treach it , we can reach it in a jiffy , if we can find out a force that gravity could repel.

Answer 5

No he didn't.

Had he reliably done this he would have overturned a century of scientific thinking and we would have noticed.

You may have seen an item on quantum teleportation, but nothing moves faster than light in such experiments.

Answer 6

Better read this article before you buy a ticket on a faster-than-light spaceship ==>http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/13/9/3

Answer 7

I've seen this same experiment...it implies the existence of "quantum wormholes" for particles to pass through and essentially "shortcut"...thus explaining why they arrive at their destination before they should.
(not proven, but implied)

Answer 8

God didn't set any barriers, please stop being an idiot and stop putting god into science here, if you're going to do that, go to the religion section.

I like how quickly you damn religious nut cases incorporate scientific discoveries into your religion and try to pass it off as a work of god. Morons.

Answer 9

You can do any thing on TV.
When you come back to reality it can not be done!
