"Americans like to believe in American exceptionalism, that the United States is a force for good around the world, not just another country pursuing its interests via geopolitical horse-trading. This is part of why there is such a visceral public backlash against WikiLeaks -- because it lays bare U.S. diplomacy in all its blunt, unromantic reality."
hmmm.... however they do "claim to have broken the speed of light"
2nd amazing
hi, welcome to the internet
"For instance, an astronaut moving faster than it would theoretically arrive at a destination before leaving."
that makes no sense, it'd just travel faster than your sight would allow you to see but time would still elapse even if its a minuscule amount...
also my guess would be that theres some sort of flaw in their experiment giving them readings of this.... 3ft apart, traveling at 186,000 miles per second? hmmm... what kinds of scientific equipment can measure on a scale small enough to measure that
36 inches in 3 feet and 11784960000 inches in 186,000 miles
do the math, hype is over nothing everyone can relax and go divide by 0

also this,
New Scientist, however, is running an article that suggests Einstein can rest easy. Aephraim Steinberg, a quantum optics expert at the University of Toronto, explains that the German physicist's results aren't necessarily wrong, they are just being interpreted incorrectly.

This breaks neither Einstein's work nor causality. To the best of our knowledge, information still cannot be transmitted faster than c. Plus, this research doesn't seem to imply that photons accelerated past c, only that they crossed a distance in such a time requiring motion appearing to exceed c. Quantum level effects are not acceleration.
Well... entanglement does violate the speed of light as a cosmic speed limit. Einstein never quite bought off on it completely, to the best of my knowledge. He referred to it as "spooky action at a distance."
We've since verified that entanglement is a real phenomenon.
Oh, and it goes without saying that:
A) Always, always, always be leery of a scientist or group of scientists that runs straight to the media without quietly letting the peer review process speak for them.
B) Media reports + the hard sciences = mostly shit.
ihdi
I dont buy the whole humanity thing, I dont believe in my species. I dont believe in my country. I dont believe in religion. I dont believe in government. I dont believe in big business. I think its a game, a racket, a con. I enjoy not caring because it gives me a detachment, a separation. I see alot of people into politics who believe that 'Oh there's hope, only if we do this'. I dont believe that either.
