WARP speed.
Sort of like Star Trek.
re: “Physicists Have Broken The Speed of Light With Pulses Inside Hot Plasma”
I’m going to take the side of the “house” and bet this is _not_ true ... whether it is an observation error, due to a scaling error in some parameter, or some other you-name-it factor, I’ll bet they did not break the light-speed barrier.
“Hasten us towards the kind of future we have always dreamed of”
Yes...lI’ve always dreamed of a future where light could travel faster than light.
Nope.
Usually my dreams involve Marie Osmond.
re: “From a theoretical standing, the experiment helps flesh out the physics of plasmas and put new constraints on the accuracy of current models. “
QM ‘models’, no doubt ... those are flawed from the get-go.
re: “ever more powerful lasers are just what we need for a whole bunch of applications, from ramping up particle accelerators to improving clean fusion technology. “
*** This means MORE billions spent with NO result (from ‘hot’ fusion efforts). ***
ITER Fusion - an “EATER”
(Bear in mind, as you watch this video, that the SunCell today has actually been proven to work. (Hot) Nuclear Fusion? Not so much, as Krivit shows that ITER *is* a “useless eater”.)

In a 1993 hearing, nuclear fusion research representatives convinced the U.S. Congress to spend public money on ITER, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. ITER, they said, was the way to fusion energy. Elected officials in Europe, Japan, and the Soviet Union also agreed to fund ITER. Later, China, India, and South Korea joined the partnership.
The evidentiary foundation for ITER, they said, was the Joint European Torus fusion reactor, which, they implied, produced thermal power from fusion at a rate of 66 percent of the reactor input power. That foundation, as it turns out, was flawed.
Sometime around 2045, the $65 billion ITER project is expected to run its final experiments, which should produce, for 500 seconds, a thermal power output rate equivalent to the overall reactor electrical power input rate. Although this result would accomplish its scientific objective, the overall reactor output will be equivalent to a zero net-power reactor.
Instead, the fusion representatives told Congress, the public, and the news media that the ITER reactor would produce millions of Watts of power, ten times the power the reactor would consume. They said it would prove that fusion on Earth is commercially viable.
But the scientists didn’t disclose that the reactor would also consume millions of Watts of electrical power. They didn’t explain that the reactor is designed only for a power gain of the physics reactions, rather than a power gain of the overall reactor. If ITER works as designed, the 70-year research program will end up with a reactor that produces no overall net energy.
ITER, The Grand Illusion: A Forensic Investigation of Power Claims, featuring members of Congress, prominent representatives of the fusion community, and the two former spokesmen of the ITER organization, reveals the details of this story.
I don’t believe it. They use White Supremacist math logic here, the same stuff that they claim 2+2=4 with. Until they can inject some CRT equations into the mix, I’m skeptical.
Light speed limit = scientific consensus.
I doubt it, the math says that if you can transmit information FTL then you can tap energy from black holes and actually make time run backwards. In a small region. Continuous discontinuties, anyone?
Where is the proof?
“smooth waters of vacuum”
I stopped reading right there.
All right! I may get my death ray gun yet.
If it traveled faster than light then it should have arrived before it left. Which it obviously didn’t because that’s time travel, and the first confirmed instance of time travel will make MUCH bigger headlines than this.
