is there anything faster than the speed of light?

Answer 1

The lightning speed of pain from one person to another.

Answer 2

Short answer: no. Longer answer: the speed of light can be theoretically cheated via wormholes. These are known to exist at subatomic levels but are next to impossible on a humanly practical scale because of the amount of energy required to maintain a wormhole at a scale usable by people. With the use of a wormhole, one would be able to get from point A to point B faster than light would allow via regular "straight line" travel but the speed of light still isn't being exceeded... you're just taking a short cut.

Answer 3

No. Einstein established the speed of light as the ultimate speed limit of the universe, and nothing, other than electromagnetic radiation, can travel at the speed of light.

Tachyons (particles that travel faster than the speed of light) are completely theoretical, but scientists have at least considered the possibility of their existence.

Answer 4

Nothing is faster than the speed of light. As far as the water thing, light doesn't travel at 186,000 m/s in water. It moves slower. Some radiation particles can move faster than light does thru water, but they are not going faster than 186,000 m/s.
donmorano is close - there are some quark pairs that match up. They have a property called 'spin'. Kinda relates to how they move, they can have up-spin or down-spin. The pairs always have one up-spin and one down-spin. The weird thing is that if the direction of the spin is reversed on one particle, the other particle changes direction AT THE SAME TIME. One experiment consisted of taking one particle to Minnesota, the other was in Chicago. The spin was reversed on the particle in Chicago - and the other one's spin changed AT THE SAME TIME. How did the one 1000 miles know it's twin had changed direction, and why did it change AT THE SAME TIME? How did it communicate faster than the speed of light. Scientist are trying to use this technology to send messages faster than the speed of light.

Answer 5

sure. light from any point in space is moving faster than the speed of light because the universe is expanding, thus light is moving c X the speed the universe is expanding.

also information travels faster than the speed of light in quantum mechanics, but we dont understand how or why yet

Answer 6

Law's of Physics say no, but, there was this weird thing involving these atoms or w/e, that when moved at a distance they changed direction to face eachother FASTER than the speed of light.

Answer 7

In current time, no, well at least if relativity is correct, since it would require an infinite amount of energy. However, i remember reading something about how at time very close to the big bang the expansion speed of the universe actually exceeded the speed of light.

Answer 8

We have no way of sensing or measuring anything faster than the speed of light. So, your guess is as good as mine. Just because things are unexplainable does not mean they do not exist.

Answer 9

Basically, no. Nothing in actual existence today is faster than light. Theoretically, it's impossible for anything to be faster than light.

Answer 10

yes, in science fiction such as star trek
warp speed 1 means 1 times light speed
warp speed 3 means 27 times light speed
warp speed 6 means 216 times light speed
warp speed 9 means 729 times light speed
so and so forth

Answer 11

No, there isn't.

Einstein's special theory of relativity says that such thing it's imposible. An infinite energy it's required to acelerate until reaching that velocity.

Only zero mass particles (such as photons = light or gravitons = gravity) can travel in such speed.
