What scientific experiment indicated that there exist phenomena in Space faster than the speed of light?

Answer 1

A semi-recent experiment demonstrated something called the Quantum Interconnectedness Principle, or QUIP.
Electrons travel in certain energy states around an atom, called a "shell." There can be many different shells around an atom, and it can be determined by looking at a periodic table of elements.
Anyway, each shell can have only two electrons occupying it at any given time. Each electron has a property called "spin," and the two electrons in any one shell MUST have opposite spins. One is spin up, the other is spin down. If two electrons with the same spin try to enter the same shell, one electron will change it's spin.

An interesting experiment took two electrons from the same shell, and took them a certain distance apart. the spin of one electron was forcibly changed. The very interesting results were that the spin of the OTHER electron ALSO changed. After checking, the spin on the second electron happened instantaneously. The "information" was "communicated" between the electrons faster than the speed of light.

Yes, this flies in the face of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity.

Nobody really knows exactly what this experiment means, yet, but some very interesting proposals have been made for secure communications gear by using this principle. It is also a concept that has been used to help imagine quantum computers.

Answer 2

There is evidence around a nuclear reactor of particles with mass moving faster than the LOCAL speed of light. Nuclear reactor cores are immersed in water, to slow down neutrons and to draw away the heat of the reaction in order to perform useful work. The fast fission products are traveling very fast, and as they pass through the water they are moving faster than light, which is locally slowed down by the presence of the water. The "sonic booms" of these particles are visible blue light, called Cherenkov radiation. I saw real Cherenkov radiation around the core of the Slowpoke nuclear reactor, on the campus of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta.

Answer 3

EM waves don't travel faster than light in a wave guide - it's only the phase velocity that's greater than C (and there's nothing physical about it). EM waves travel at the group velocity, which is always less than C. The EPR experiment might be of interest - but I guess you already know that.

Answer 4

I could be mistaken, but I believe that the speed of light is the outer-most speed we know about...could you be mistaken that such an experiment exists?

P.S. - I could be wrong here, I'm no scientist!

Ask an electrical engineer working with hollow metal waveguides. They've always known that any electromagnetic wave travels faster than the speed of light in one.

Back in the early 80s it was in my Electromagnetics Fields and Waves textbooks. EEs have always known, but for some strange reason, other people don't....Do they just take everything Albert said as gospel?

Answer 6

There is no experiment . the speed of light cannot be exceeded.

Answer 7

None, of course. If there were any, then the major tenets of modern physics would have changed to reflect that.

Answer 8

the Philadelphia experiment?
