billay Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 This has been a part of quantum theory for some time no? I recall reading something about a subatomic particle generating a pair, at a distance simultaneously, elsewhere. Interesting that they use the same word.

I recall reading something about a subatomic particle generating a pair, at a distance simultaneously, elsewhere. Interesting that they use the same word. I think that had to do with particle spin IIRC. If one pair would spin "up" then its pair would also spin "up" regardless of the distance between the two in the universe. This current experiment sounds different. I think that quantum tunneling has to do with a particle's wave function which allows it to statistically speaking be able to instantaneously appear on the other side of a barrier for example.

Pope Flick Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 They measured the difference between the speed of light and FASTER than the speed of light over a distance of 3 feet? Sounds like some more of that Aggie Cold Fusion from the late 80's if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosn05 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) Looks like I'm gonna be time traveling. Edited August 17, 2007 by broncosn05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 If it traveled faster than the speed of light, then didn't it arrive before it left? Wouldn't that mean that the amount of matter in the universe increased slightly? How does this affect Thews theory of God? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It arrive at its destination instantaneously... which at that distance is faster than light could reach it. But that doesn't mean that it would arrive before it left (at least not in this experiment). As for Thews theory of God... now its just Jazzier!

Is "instantaneously" different from "at the same time"? Does it just mean "very very very infinitely fast" or "at exactly the same moment".

How the f'ck do they know that the photons weren't travelling at 184,000 miles a second. Do they have a radar gun to measure Warp drive yet?
