Is there anything faster than the speed of light?

At the end of May this year, the New York Times was the first to report a piece of news that shocked the scientific community: Chinese scientist Wang Lijun and his colleagues had successfully broken the limit of the speed of light, increasing the speed of light by a factor of 300 in the laboratory. If this discovery is confirmed, it means that Einstein's theory of relativity will be completely overturned.

However, on 8 June, Wang Lijun came forward to clarify that the so-called "study 300 times faster than the speed of light" was in fact just an erroneous understanding published by the media without confirming it with him.

However, the latest issue of the journal Nature contains the latest research results of Wang Lijun and three other scientists, proving for the first time that there is something faster than the speed of light in the world. The study, which was conducted by physicists Lijun Wang of Princeton University, Kuzmich of Alexandria University and Arthur Dougrou, was published in the latest issue of the scientific journal Nature.

The researchers emitted a laser light wave and passed it through the cesium gas chamber, and found that the front of the wave had already drilled out from the other end before the tail of the laser light wave had fully entered the cesium gas chamber. According to the researchers, the laser light wave travels 310 times the distance that can be traveled in the cesium gas chamber at the same time in a vacuum, and the researchers speculate that the cesium atoms may have changed the properties of light, so the laser light wave is faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. The researchers say that the speed of light can be pushed further, at least in this laboratory environment.

"Our research shows that the notion that nothing is faster than the speed of light is wrong," Wang said. 」

The results of this research do not have any practical application at present, but it has greatly excited the optical physics community, and Raymond Zhao, a physicist at the University of Berkeley, Calif., said that this is a scientific breakthrough, and everyone used to think that it was impossible to be faster than the speed of light, but it has been proven that nothing is impossible.

About a century ago, Albert Einstein proposed that the speed of light in a vacuum is the fastest in the universe. Princeton University.

The results of the research can be applied to the development of ultra-speed computers in the future.

The superluminal speed of neutrinos has been proven to be a mistake caused by mistakes, and the speed of light is still the fastest, and Einstein is still right.

Yes, I've read some scientific magazines before, but I don't remember which one. It is said that someone has discovered smaller matter in atoms (indivisible), faster than the speed of light! Looks like it's still in the midst of controversy!

The speed at which a signal is not transmitted can be greater than the speed of light, such as the speed at which a shadow moves.

The speed of light decreases in the medium, and many particles can be greater than the speed of light in the medium when accelerated.

Einstein's theory of relativity tells us that this is impossible!

Faster than the speed of light, he can turn back time.

Light can only stop time.

The current theoretical support is no.
