So, it's hard to work out what's going on and how this "gadget" has the ability to abuse radio waves to velocities faster than c. Shockwave? Well, I get that too, but that's never been observed, and besides, if indeed a shock front were to be produced by the laser, no information would be transferred across the lunar surface faster than the speed of light. Laser dots projected on the moon, appear to go faster than the speed of light. "If an effect can do that, it makes you wonder if you can do things with light to get the equivalent of a sonic boom." In an attempt to explain what is going on, another article continues, quoting Singleton as saying, "If you take a laser and shine it on the moon and swing it rather gently, for example, the spot on the moon travels faster than the speed of light." radio waves travel through the same medium as the rest of the EM spectrum, how are they being modified? How are they being "abused"? This polarization synchrotron, how does its "rapidly spinning" magnetic field accelerate these radio waves? I'm enjoying the fact there is some linkage with a neutron star phenomenon, but what is the connection? Why are radio waves considered to be a "phenomenon"? Radio waves are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Unfortunately, that's about all the science there is. (Before I continue, I just want to point out that I'm not saying the scientist is in any way wrong - it's actually very interesting - but there's a little something missing from the write-up).Īccording to the article, John Singleton's claim is as follows:Įinstein predicted that particles and information can't travel faster than the speed of light - but phenomenon like radio waves? That's a different story, said Singleton, a Los Alamos National Laboratory Fellow
"Where's the evidence? Where's the compelling proof? Hold up, where's the science?"Įither this article has been badly written, or the science is too complex to print, or the science is deliberately vague because the claims aren't very clear. * Thank you Lori for that little insight.īut then the skeptic inside me starts to rock backwards and forwards in his chair, smoking a pipe, tutting. But the "phenomenon" of radio waves? Wow. In fact it does not some waves (electromagnetic waves. I've also been neck deep in warp drives and wormholes recently, two other possible loopholes around Einstein's general relativity. Evidently Einsteins restriction should not apply to this wave that carries no message and no energy. Sure, I've read papers that study quantum entanglement, where two particles will instantaneously change quantum states, thereby ‘communicating' faster then light. Instantly, the physicist inside me nearly exploded with excitement. So yesterday, there was a buzz about a scientist, from Los Alamos National Laboratory, who managed to force the "phenomenon" of radio waves faster than the speed of light. I get thrown in science jail for breaking the laws of physics.* There might have been the chance that I'd made a huge discovery (perhaps I'd discovered the tachyon?), but I think I would have proven my statement before I made such a huge proclamation. What would happen if I walked into a physics conference and shouted, "I've discovered a phenomenon that travels faster than light!"? using this "gadget." What's that all about?
