Faster Than the Speed of Light


So far, Albert Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than light has yet to be disproved.  Not for lack of trying, I assure you, as numerous scientists across the globe try to poke holes in the math over and over again. 

And while it seems ripped straight from an episode of Star Trek, NASA has invested real money into understanding the science behind travel faster than the speed of light.  We may be a while yet from muttering "Engage" on the command deck of a starship, but you have to start somewhere.


This week, a look at photons and the possibility of traveling faster than light.


TTFN, Fred.
