Can anything travel faster than the speed of light? "No," is what Albert Einstein would likely say if he was alive today -- and he would be the man to ask, because scientists have been taking his word for it ever since the early 20th century.

For the first time, scientists have experimentally demonstrated that sound pulses can travel at velocities faster than the speed of light, c. William Robertson’s team from Middle Tennessee State University also showed that the group velocity of sound waves can become infinite, and even negative.

Faster-than-light (also superluminal or FTL ) communications and travel refer to the propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light. Under the special theory of relativity, a...

It is only possible to send information with such a wave at the group velocity, so the phase velocity is yet another example of a speed faster than light that cannot carry a message.

Physicist Hal Puthoff (1) has recently suggested that the ability of a spacecraft to modify the properties of space in its immediate vicinity could allow it to travel faster than light. ... This is because the speed of light is simply a measure of two properties of the medium of space, or the vacuum,

According to Einstein's theory of special relativity, published in 1905, nothing can exceed the speed of light. That speed, explained Einstein, is a fundamental constant of nature: It appears the same to all observers anywhere in space. The...

A tachyon is faster than the speed of light. bending of space and time would refer to the gravitational effects of large objects being in space-time, such as planets. Space and time are one entity called space-time. This can be thought of l...

Subject: Re:Is there anything faster than the speed of light? ... Re:Is there anything faster than the speed of light? Mr. D. Winsemius (appologies if Doc.) states that whatever your frame of reference, the speed of light is a constant. Then he also states that light travels slower through water or glass.

However, since the electrical field is carried by photons, it can only travel at the speed of light. If the particle is travelling faster than the speed of light in a certain medium (such as water), then it, in a sense, out-runs its electrical field.
