Can this really be possible?
Dr Gunter Nimtz and Dr Alfons Stahlhofen, of the University of Koblenz in Germany, claim that they have broken the speed of light. They say that they've conducted an experiment where "microwave photons - energetic packets of light - travelled "instantaneously" between a pair of prisms that had been moved up to 3ft apart."
Einstein's theory of relativity states that it would take an infinite amount of energy to move an object to an 186,000 miles per second.
"For instance, an astronaut moving faster than it would theoretically arrive at a destination before leaving."

Okay, Brainiac. Let's move one of those prisms to the surface of the moon and see how quick your little scheme still runs. I won't be impressed until this is validated by somebody else.
On the other hand just observing particles will change their behavior somehow, so there's still tons of quantum stuff that is either (or both) guesswork or unproven.
"I won't be impressed until this is validated by somebody else."
I agree!!!
I need other scientists to validate this also. You would think that this would be ground braking news, and not just found on a blog. We might have to call shenanigans on these guy!
"For instance, an astronaut moving faster than it would theoretically arrive at a destination before leaving."
So in theory, maybe they did this 3 years from now.
