Nothing travels faster than light, but an astronomical optical illusion has made it look like a jet of radiation is travelling at over seven times this cosmic speed limit

A jet of radiation from two colliding neutron stars appears to be travelling at seven times the speed of light, according to measurements from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Although this is merely an optical illusion, as nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, it provides key insights into mysteriousIn 2017, astronomers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory detected a wave, GW170817, produced from the

Texas pickup truck drivers already know that C can be exceeded!

It makes no sense to believe that Mass starts to increase as something nears C. A given mass can be transformed by it's velocity, but mass only increases if the additional matter is coming from somewhere else. We can reach and exceed C.

An optical illusion is what Einstein was describing when something approaches C. There is NO reason we should locked into the notion that C can never be exceeded. This error was introduced by some other scientist trying figure out sir Albert's theory.

Thought travels faster than light. Awareness does. Knowledge does. Ultimately that will create the mode of travel with infinite speed.

Quantum entanglement travels faster than light.

Stuck on the concept of using light as a tape measure only sets limits in the human mind. Need to think outside the confines of predefined limitations.

Why can is light speed a constant Very other speed varies!!! Just another thought experiment!!!!!

How do we really know for sure that nothing travels faster than light? Our science may tell us so, in the year 2022, but we cannot discount science in the centuries to come. I am also not considering science from extraterrestrial sources...if that exists...

मन की गति प्रकाश से भी तेज है। The speed of the mind is faster than the light.🙏

Nothing travels *through space* faster than light

Can we safely say nothing 'appears' to travel faster than speed of light? The mass multiplication eqn, M = Mo/sqrt(1-Vsq/Csq) is actually the appearance of more mass than the starting mass because it mathematically 'appears' to have increased? Just a mathematical anomaly.

Come on, what a bs statement...

You can solve your country economy by Zero-Pay for energy for your country citizen and you have the technology for that.

7*3*10 EXP (+8) m*s^(-1). Seven Times the Speed of Light, who solve the Problem of energy? Who provides the Necessaire energy expenditure for such high Speed? The acceleration is enormous, Perhaps with warp or even transwarp? (the effect of Space Curvature shortening by

The future may tell us that light travels as fast as other matter in the universe, and that there are speeds higher than the speed of light.

Quantum entanglement is faster than the speed of light.

There is no speed limit. Neutrinos zip around at any speed they want. Speed of light is relative to thread network tension surrounding determining mass (planet, star, system, galaxy, etc.) Tension = Force = Gravity Higher gravity = higher tension

wow cool kevin's head exploded. jk. thought is faster than light. that's why someone's head exploded.

but it's working or not

That must be some kind of illusion 3 O'clock, that's way beyond too much exaggerated to begin with U gays haven't the proper instruments to measure 2 million 1 hundred thousand KM/S do U've any idea what that mean, there's simply no technology that can fathom that kind of speed.

'Nothing travels faster than light' That we know of.

It's not yer imagination. The reason the jets from neutron stars seem to travel seven times the speed of light is because it does :-). Light is instantaneous.

Speed of Science?

Oh but even men can traverse light quicker than its natural speed.

Einstein gets a Nobel Prize for the photoelectric effect while telling us the speed of light is constant at 186,000 mi./s, if that were true photoelectrons couldn't eject (instantaneously) off metal since electrons have mass and would be slowed by Einstein's principles of gravity

False. Thought is faster than light.

False Info Detected. “Nothing travels faster” is a lie. We might not be able to detect anything that travels faster, but bet you ass it does exist. People need to stop trying to limit science to their limited thinking capability.

Entire universe just an optical illusion smh

What about superluminal waves observed in 2009?

How can we approximate the speeds of photons, neutrinos, axions, and other particles in motion at the imaginary edges of the inner boundaries of our universe?

How did we see it?

I saw this object in the sky last night, I don't know what it is, can you help me, what is it?

Things do travel faster than light. Normally you just can't see them. speedofpig

May be, but may be we only are unable to see what is faster then light.

Nothing with mass travels faster than light.

Universe is just Someone's thought 😁 independent reality doesn't exist. 🤦‍♂️
