Sorry Bern, this isn't saying they have found a way to "travel" faster than the speed of light. To do that, something having mass would have to be able to go faster. Newtonian physics and the Einstein"s Theory of Relativity doesn't allow that to happen. This experiment only showed that light could travel faster depending on the medium it is traversing. Light has no mass and therefore doesn't violate the law if it breaks the speed limit! I believe that there is an extremely high probability that we are not alone in the universe, however, I also believe that the Creator placed these vast distances between us and fixed the limit of travel to insure we never meet. > ---------- > From: Bernard Shaw[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Friday, July 21, 2000 11:51 AM > Subject: Re: NEWS: CBC: Scientists break speed of light > > Hello Janet, Thank you for this information.
