I have no idea what anything in this article really means, but I thought that by posting it people might think I was smart. Have at it.

Somebodys been smoking too much dope. The concept of light moving backwards is meaningless.

Don't let them bother you.

They are faster than light, while you and I are in reverse. ;)

After all, this seems to violate Einstein's sacred tenet that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.

"Einstein said information can't travel faster than light, and in this case, as with all fast-light experiments, no information is truly moving faster than light," says Boyd.

If there is a true faster-than-light phenomenon and that phenomenon can be manipulated in a non-ambiguous fashion, then that phenomenon can be used for faster-than-light communication. Although it may be true that no "thing" can travel faster than light, it doesn't follow that there can be no faster-than-light communication because communication doesn't ultimately depend on the sending of a "thing," like a piece of mail, faster than light. It depends upon a shared symbology. So if someone can use a faster-than-light signal to send a short-short-long burst and has assigned a meaning to that phenomenon that is shared between the sender and the recipient so that when the recipient sees short-short-long he knows what the sender is trying to say, faster-than-light communication has been achieved.

If we can calculate the speed of light, your post begs the question, "what's the speed of dark?"

This seems very similar to a pipe that is already full of some uncompressable liquid?

Or am I nuts?
