Light Faster Than the Speed of Light Story Misleading?
from the battling-scientists dept
Back in May we posted a story about some experiements making light move faster than the speed of light. Now, however, there are some who say the whole thing was blown out of proportion. The experiment had nothing to do with making light move that fast, and the physics were nothing new. Everyone already knew it was possible. But, some creatively worded press releases may have made things much more interesting than they really were. Personally, I still find the whole thing to be pretty interesting.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
