Damn, I knew we had a problem.

I'm just waiting to see how this thread will be somehow linked to Russian military hardware, Russian military tactics, Russian material and/or economic superiority, Russian submarine construction or the Russian military-industrial complex at large.

I like Pespi more than Coke

Oh yeah...Einstein was pretty cool too...

Anyway, about the Russian military complex...they tricked us all into believing that the theory of relatively good soda was lost with new formula coke back during the REagan Administration. So I can't see how we can now be even a little objective about being relatively clueless about just about everything or nothing at all.

Sorry folks...a bit goofy from lack of sleep plus my nightly medicinal...

Have a great day!

Back when the US national speed limit was 55 miles per hour, one often saw signs that said, "55: It's the Law".

My car sports a custom license plate frame that says, "299792458 M S-1: It's the Law" :|\

Now, I learn that scientists have broken the speed-of-light limit, too :

"Speed of light broken with basic lab kit"

:hmm:

Bill and all

If this was the only thing that was going on... now they say that "Light may have slowed down"... http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn1158

No wonder they broke the speed of light, they simply used the oldand fast light comperad to the one we got. There should be a law against this behaviour... Einsteins law perhaps?

Cheers Porphy

Porphy - It's even worse! Not only might the speed of light slowed over the life of the universe. Now, scientists have been able to create 'slow light' in the laboratory.

Physicists Slow Speed of Light
"Light, which normally travels the 240,000 miles from the Moon to Earth in less than two seconds, has been slowed to the speed of a minivan in rush-hour traffic -- 38 miles an hour."

Thats great news Bill! When I'm late for work I can say I did go by the speed of light. In case they still complain I will ask them how they possibly can expect me to go faster... (Better be quiet about the other most disturbing news you have reported about in this thread....)

Could they possibly find a way to let sound break the soundbarrier to?

Cheers Porphy

This is a stupid line of reasoning and very self-centered as well.
If light is really slowed to app. 38 miles you can't drive any faster than that in darknes, because you would overtake your own headlights and drive in the dark!
Perhaps a nice excuse to spend an extra hour with your secretary after office hours but very unsafe for highway traffic during evening hours...
