Here is a link to an article where the Times alleges two experiments that show faster than light travel of light:

NYTimes FTL Article

A quote from the article:

[QUOTE}Though declining to provide details of his paper because it is under review, Dr. Wang said: “Our light pulses can indeed be made to travel faster than c. This is a special property of light itself, which is different from a familiar object like a brick,” since light is a wave with no mass. A brick could not travel so fast without creating truly big problems for physics, not to mention humanity as a whole.

A paper on the second new experiment, by Daniela Mugnai, Anedio Ranfagni and Rocco Ruggeri of the Italian National
Research Council, described what appeared to be slightly
faster-than-c propagation of microwaves through ordinary air, and was published in the May 22 issue of Physical Review Letters. [/QUOTE]

Evanescent waves and faster-than-c.

My NYT link doesn’t require you to have an account. So there! {grin}

Just replace ‘www’ with the word ‘partners’ and you’re on your way.
