ive skipped ahead past all the idiot posts so here is a legit answer i think. Hope i havent missed anything importanti read that they slowed down light to 33mph in a special chamber (bose-einstein condensate i think?) therefore, anything that moved faster than 33mph was technically going faster than SOME light. Also, doesnt light travel a bit slower in water so that particles moving at the speed of light in a vacuum are going faster than this light in the water. Im not a physics guy (our teacher willl only teach newtonian physics) so please go easy on me

i couldnt resist this, sorryDo you get your sick jollies out of making feel pitiful over our lack of knowledge of abstract quantum physics questions? j/k

EM meaning Electromagnetic? What about soundwaves?I'm trying here.

this is not something that a human can do right? we gain mess the faster we move dont we?i think it has to be some kind of medium?am i way off base?if so ill quit and just wait for the answer.

well i can read, i just do it rather quickly and sometimes leave parts out. thanks for explaining it though. i'm still having a hard time thinking of what it could be though. its a wave? hmm, i have a hard time remembering this entire forum and im not going to re read it right now, but how about microwaves? what speed can they travel at?

ok jedi how about an electron how fast does it circle the nucleus

Hmm... jedi being a stupid freshman im totally lost now....I'm sticking with my time diffusion technicality for now.Wait that has nothing to do with waves.... btw - 100th post!

Ok one more question -This a natural occurence or is it man made?(srry if its been asked already but i had to skim like 4 pages)

This is not possible.First of all, according to the laws of physics, there is no way we could ever go faster than light. Secondly, even if we could, the process of seeing would not be able to happen as we know it. We only see things because light from a light source (be it the sun or a lamp) hits an object and bounces off it back towards our eyes. When these photons of light hit our eyes and we register them we say we have seen the object. The laws of relativity state that light will always travel at the same speed in any reference frame. So any objects in your reference frame (that means nay objects moving at the same speed as you- for example the space craft you are in) will bounce light back towards your eyes like normal, so long as the light producing object is also in your reference frame, and you will see them as you would here on Earth. However, light coming from any other reference frame will only be moving at the speed of light, and as you are moving more quickly than this, it will never catch you up. So you will never be able to see anything which is not also travelling faster than light. This is not quite right either as the fact that light travels at a set speed is closely linked to the idea that nothing can travel faster than light. So, if we start introducing the idea that we can go faster than light, we could equally introduce a theory which could alter the speed of light. However, according to the physics of today, neither of these things are possible.

Well in order to be faster than light I think...in my opinion would have to have Zero Mass. Has something to with waves eh? hmm.... I'll have to think about this one..

Srry Ky, but I didnt have the time to go through all 10 pages :PAll i know is with a mirror, you are seeing an image of you in the past without having to record anything*No idea how that has anything to do with this topic :roll: *

why dont you just tell us? obviously no one has even been close and while I would like to know the answer, I dont care enough to try and think of it. i would be interested to know how you know the answer. did you figure it out?

well, the problem is that Im not a student of physics, nor would I ever want to be. and like I stated earlier, I dont care enough to try and figure it out, I just want to know

OK, I propose that thought is faster than the speed of light!Especially Kywalker's thoughtslolB-Cell
