Speed of light barrier broken?

True. The USS Enterprise folds space like my wife folds laundry.

If he was a brit or yank we would have learned about him in school as kids.

I know that happens in Futurama with the Planet Express Ship...not sure was the Enterprise does.

a nice summary here

edit: go to google news and search "Has a Speeding Neutrino Really Overturned Einstein?" or Kaku

Not sure why the hotlink is requiring a login...

Whoops, looks like the speed of light might still be the limit.

It could have shaken the very cornerstones of modern physics but - oops! - it experienced some technical difficulties. An experiment suggesting that particles could travel faster than the speed of light had some potential flaws, scientists announced Thursday.

...their possible discovery might have been tainted by loose wiring. Specifically, a loose fiber optic cable that synchronizes an external GPS signal to the master clock of its OPERA experiment might have caused their speed measurements to be off.

This important component, however tiny, helps keep the clock accurate to the nanosecond, or one billionth of a second.

CERN said in a statement Thursday that the clock “may not have been functioning correctly when the measurements were taken,” which could have caused the scientists to underestimate the time of flight of the elusive, faster-than-light neutrinos.

Wow something that may move as fast as taco time going thru my intestinal tract........light is my bitch

Sorry dude, molten taco time intestinal lava doesn't move at the speed of light, some of it does get propelled to the speed of sound though.
