If this story in the London Telegraph proves to be true, it is likely to be your first notice of the most important story happening during your lifetime. If the speed of light can be exceeded, space travel becomes feasible and everything we think we now know about physics will need to be reexamined. The implications are potentially enormous.
We have every reason to be skeptical of this story and others like it. Remember the flurry of stories over "cold fusion" which proved to be, if not exactly a hoax, relatively bad science and certainly untrue?
