"Light breaks its own speed limit"
This was the title of an article in the July 21st edition of the International Herald Tribune. I wont type the whole article but ill just outline the general idea:
Scientists have magnified the speed of light by 7 times by using the reverse process of slowing it down (Refer to Lene Hau's experiment when he and S.E. Harris slowed the speed of a light pulse down to 38 mph). This has proved that light can travel faster then its previously "set speed" of 186,000 Mph (in a vacuum).
"The key finding is that the resonstituted pulse re-forms before the original intact pulse could have gotten there by simply traveling through empty space. That is, the peak of the pulse is, in effect, extended FORWARD IN TIME"
Its amazing what a little technology and inguinity can do.
