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.

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?
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?"
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 was promised links.
i mean how long does it really take for light to travel one meter?
STEAM!

1 / 2.998 x 10^8 seconds.
well i figured that but still
one meter
the percent error has to come into play

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".
