The scientists were investigating a phenomenon called quantum tunnelling, which allows sub-atomic particles to break apparently unbreakable laws.

This is many decades old. Einstein coined the phrase I used in post#3. Some textbooks describing this phenomenon have since decayed from age no doubt. This is not news. Peculiar, but nothing new.

Shades of Slaughterhouse Five!!

Heck, everyone knows that this is old hat. To go faster than light, you just jump a ride in the 5th dimension where time stands still, then pop back here when you get to where you were going. Trouble with all this is that you get to where you are going before you hopped the ride, and therefore forget why you went in the first place, or even that you had gone at all.

Wow, I can’t believe I just wrote that......
