Hold on there: 3 x 10^8 m/s — it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law!

IIRC, the sun appeared to rotate around the earth to the limited perspective of our ancestors.

Why hasn’t that monument to racism and bigotry been torn down yet?

It must be Trump’s fault because of climate change or something.

I think the usual speed of light limitations can be undone by massive objects and violent events that warp space, time, and the very laws of physics.

I read the article. The unnamed writer of the article is an idiot.

Very poorly-written. I love the science, but not how they’re reporting it.

“We measured an apparent motion that is four times faster than light. That illusion, called superluminal motion, results when the jet is pointed nearly toward Earth and the material in the jet is moving close to the speed of light,” Dr. Mooley said.

“Such jets need to be pointed relatively closely toward the Earth for the gamma-ray burst to be detected.”

But not exactly right at earth. That would be bad.

Note, What they observed actually happened about 140 million years ago.

What is the possibility of using something like this to power space craft?

I wonder if the “superluminal motion” defense will work for that speeding ticket.

Gravity bound Cosmologists and Astronomers are once again shocked surprised, stunned, and astonished at something observed they cannot explain using their basic gravity lead theories of ho the Universe works! They will continue to be so stunned because they are wrong when they continue to ignore the other infinite range force which is thirty-nine orders of magnitude STRONGER than gravity! This time the have spotted an interstellar jet that appears to be moving four-times faster than light! OOPS! —Electric Universe PING!
