SPEED OF LIGHT

(Note from Bill: In the article below, it is shown that modern
science is beginning to perceive sub-atomic particles that can
apparently exist in two places at the same time — making no
distinction between space and time. It sounds like the Lord to me,
being at two places (and many more) at the same time! Science is
beginning to validate our Lord’s omnipresence. I have included
excerpts from the article.)

• Eureka! Scientists break speed of light

Scientists claim they have broken the ultimate speed barrier: the
speed of light. In research carried out in the United States,
particle physicists have shown that light pulses can be accelerated
to up to 300 times their normal velocity of 186,000 miles per
second.

The implications, like the speed, are mind-boggling. On one
interpretation it means that light will arrive at its destination
almost before it has started its journey. In effect, it is leaping
forward in time.

Before the pulse had fully entered the chamber it had gone right
through it and traveled a further 60 feet across the laboratory. In
effect it existed in two places at once, a phenomenon that Wang
explains by saying it traveled 300 times faster than light.

The research is already causing controversy among physicists. What
bothers them is that if light could travel forward in time it could
carry information. This would breach one of the basic principles in
physics - causality, which says that a cause must come before an
effect. It would also shatter Einstein’s theory of relativity since
it depends in part on the speed of light being unbreachable.

In Italy, another group of physicists has also succeeded in
breaking the light speed barrier. In a newly published paper,
physicists at the Italian National Research Council described how
they propagated microwaves at 25% above normal light speed.

The group speculates that it could be possible to transmit
information faster than light. Dr. Guenter Nimtz, of Cologne
University, an expert in the field, agrees. He believes that
information can be sent faster than light and last week gave a
paper describing how it could be done to a conference in Edinburgh.
He believes, however, that this will not breach the principle of
causality because the time taken to interpret the signal would
fritter away all the savings. "The most likely application for this
is not in time travel but in speeding up the way signals move
through computer circuits," he said.

Wang’s experiment is the latest and possibly the most important
evidence that the physical world may not operate according to any
of the accepted conventions. In the new world that modern science
is beginning to perceive, sub-atomic particles can apparently exist
in two places at the same time - making no distinction between
space and time.

The implications of Wang’s experiments will arouse fierce debate.
Many will question whether his work can be interpreted as proving
that light can exceed its normal speed — suggesting that another
mechanism may be at work. Neil Turok, professor of mathematical
physics at Cambridge University, said he awaited the details with
interest, but added: "I doubt this will change our view of the
fundamental laws of physics."

Wang emphasizes that his experiments are relevant only to light and
may not apply to other physical entities. But scientists are
beginning to accept that man may eventually exploit some of these
characteristics for inter-stellar space travel.
