Holy fuck speed of light broken

Doggs, I'm eating some nice Italian cookies.

We must have curry waffles.

There's some good bits with Whippy in them.

Find the bits with Whippy.

Dudes, some Japanese scientist did this a while back [internet fails me].

Detractors of the phenomenon cite the fact that the particle tunneling out the other side of the material isn't the same particle.

Quantum physics retaliates with: How do you know?

I was promised links.

tugga

but how do they know it was instantaneous?

i mean how long does it really take for light to travel one meter?

Fandyien

I would venture a guess that they have some sort of scientific gadget to help them determine that.

Or else, I mean, it'd be pretty god damn stupid to watch something go incredibly fast and then immediatly attribute that to the breaking of the light barrier.

well i figured that but still

one meter

the percent error has to come into play

This is why theoretical physicists are my favorite kind of scientists
Other scientists are like "pics or it didn't happen"
These guys are always "yeah, it could happen, why not?"

what a waste of time, they should be farming wheat and feeding the hungry

Kuribo's Shoe

at hyperlight speeds

His Corkiness

The big question to be asked now is if information can be transmitted via photon tunneling. All "faster-than-light" phenomena I've read about before forbid the transmission of information via the phenomenon, making them worthless for areas like communications and computing.

I just want to know when we will start colonizing the moons of Jupiter

Except Europa, of course.

Whatever.



Sometimes we go out to eat italian

and then we come home for make outs

and the girl tastes like garlic

and I'm like "Mmmmm, garlic".

Garlic is excellent. I often smell like it.
