I wonder the photon traveled between the two prisms or if it was in both prisms at the same time (ie, located at two places at the same time- quantum physics says this is a possibility.)

It could be they were using an analog stopwatch.

I’m calling BOGUS.........I bet this is a phenomenon like those balls in a cradle that is sold in stores for executive desk toys. Five or so balls suspended on strings, in a line. Pull one back and let it hit the others and one ball on the end leaves the group. Two balls hit and two balls leave. Three balls, etc. I suspect the photons are lined up in such a way as when one leaves the emitter end, one enters the receptor end..........speed of light is not a factor..........,

But never at the same place at the same time.

You are correct. The photon would have to be in the second prism before the photon left the first prism. I do not think it could be physically measured.

Sounds more like teleportation.

The photons themselves didn’t actually travel faster than light. Rather it was the event that traveled, and this is already a well-known, but poorly understood phenomenon. I think these scientists don’t appreciate the difference between an event in time and a photon of energy.

What I want to know is what kind of radar gun were they using to measure the speed of those photons???? And if it means that those photons actually arrived before they left, then wouldn’t the radar gun read a negative number for speed or at most zero?
