The epitome of this effect is the propagation of a plane wave, at or near the speed of light, at a slightly oblique angle to a surface.
The point of detection of this wave will propagate at a speed faster than the speed of light, and in the limit will be observed simultaneously along an arbitrary length.
This is a set piece in the elementary exposition of relativity theory, so don’t get excited!

So that’s why the engine room in JJ’s Enterprise contains so many pipes.
>> Robert Boyd at the University of Rochester used similar principles to make pulses of light travel backward and faster than c.
I’m still stuck on trains, stations, and clocks fearing my observations nullify what I’ve observed. Not sure I can deal with The Completion Backward Principle.

The only thing faster than c is the amount of time it takes for the MSM to blame Trump for something.

Like most news stories about science, it’s absolute gibberish.

The study used the heads of the teachers and students as the vacuum to test this theory.

The speed of light is Trump’s fault because it limits how fast one can move.

I don't know why you can't use sounds to transmit a signal? Aren't ultra low frequencies pretty much the same?
Brain damage causes me not to think clearly about these things anymore.

I guess NASA was still too busy changing Muslim terrorists baby diapers to assist in any of the experiments. OR they could have been seeing how fast odor travels in air compared to a vacuum while changing these diapers. Important stuff (shiite sheeet)

The epitome of this effect is the propagation of a plane wave, at or near the speed of light, at a slightly oblique angle to a surface. Exactly and as those two surfaces are bought together compressing the plane wave, the speed of the sound is heightened far exceeding the speed of sound and the Road Runner but never the Waskally Wabbit.

So what is this bit about making light pulses travel backward?
