The pair say they have conducted an experiment in which microwave photons - energetic packets of light - travelled "instantaneously" between a pair of prisms that had been moved up to 3ft apart.

I'm not so sure that proves they've broken the speed of light or undermined Einstein's special theory of relativity.

From the limited information given, it appears to me they've just confirmed that the M Theory is correct and alternate universes do exist. Their photons have just duplicated the behavior of Leptons that have a nasty habit of appearing at two places simultaneously; i.e. - go from one universe to another.

[it's a Quantum Mechanics thing and means diddly-squat (technical term) in the real world for now]

I'm not a Physicist but I did watch the Science Chanel last night :-)

Sir, I’ll have you know that “diddly-squat” is a scientific term of great social and political import!

” Their photons have just duplicated the behavior of Leptons that have a nasty habit of appearing at two places simultaneously; i.e. - go from one universe to another.”

This is why it’s a waste of time to put dog-tags on them.
