Do photons have mass? No. Photons are Baptists.

Explain, please?
Einstein was wrong? Misinterpreted? Lied?

Make it so!

The scientists were investigating a phenomenon called quantum tunnelling, which allows sub-atomic particles to break apparently unbreakable laws.
This is many decades old. Einstein coined the phrase I used in post#3. Some textbooks describing this phenomenon have since decayed from age no doubt. This is not news. Peculiar, but nothing new.

Do photons have mass?I'm pretty sure they don't, which makes the E=MC^2 equation irrelevant here. The whole basis for saying that nothing can travel faster than light is assuming that thing has mass.

Wow! That’s almost as fast as Teddy Kennedy driving off a bridge.

Aye. Gravity is faster than the speed of Light in a vac.

ocated at two places at the same time- quantum physics says this is a possibilityBut never at the same place at the same time.

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.) 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.

I thought the speed of gravity was C plus or minus 1 percent?

Even assuming light hits the second site first, at only 3 feet apart there is room for error in calculations. Sort of hard to believe that they could measure so accurately at 3 feet.

You can’t see it — it was black light.
