"While the peak moves faster than light speed, the total energy of the pulse does not. This means Einstein's relativity is preserved, so do not expect super-fast starships or time machines anytime soon."

Suck it yourself! HA!

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.

Remember when your parents told you it's dangerous to play in traffic?

I, for one, cringe at the thought of Albert Einstein giving me oral gratification. I shall not sleep tonight.

Well, I for one expect super-fast starships anyway. Just because I think they can and aren't trying hard enough.

BTW, Photoshop artists now know how to disturb Siggy... hahaha. im thinking of a great composition.. I'll call it 'The Theory of Fellativity'

Please don't. I like my theories immaculate.

Also (1), fotons can't transfer *information* at speeds greater than c. Unless we're talking quantum entanglement, but that's a whole 'nother mother.

Also (2), group velocity of a pulse can exceed c. Nothing new or groundbraking about a phase-shift occuring at superluminal speed...
