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.

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)

Depending on how you look at it, Barry Soeotoro was a great president.

Depending on how you look at it, Bill Clinton was a wonderful mentor to Monica Lewenski.

Depending on how you look at it, letting Mexicans overrun the country in a sign of love.

Depending on how you look at it, Houston just got a little rain.

Depending on how you look at it, physicist William Robertson at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, along with a high school teacher, two college students and two high school students think we are all as dumb as a sack of hammers.

An observable response with science and scientific examples is that SOMEBODY knows this stuff! Like many others of us know about Pantone color charts, balancing fuel injectors, crocheting with long fiber cotton, or cutting valley cripple jacks freehand.

The specialized language is gobbledygook to the un-initiated, but plain-as-day to the practitioners.

The truly freaky part is that things like Relativity were theorized over 100 years ago, and one guy knew it.
Today, well-versed middle schoolers can give you the basics about it.

We do move forward, despite what some folks claim.

If you are no more than 187,000 miles from me as I type this, you are now, this instant, wondering where is that loud weird laugh coming from.

I find it doubtful that a professor from a lower to mid level college, a high school teacher and a few students were able to exceed the speed of light when no one else has.

Well, that explains the “kawoosh” noise when Marty McFly’s DeLorean goes through time.
