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."
