Default On Topic (sort of): Your (Space) Ship May Be Able To Travel Faster Than Light

This is interesting. Theoretical physicists think that it might be
possible to travel faster than light by warping the fabric of
space-time directly in front of, and behind, the space ship. Ships
are vaguely on topic, no?

Yes, yes, it's from Fox News and who knows. Interesting concept in
any event.

-------------------------------------------

There are several documented experiments involving a laser fired
through gaseous cesium (within a vacuum chamber)
that suggests that the beam emerges from the chamber before it
entered. I think a Russian physicist first demonstrated this.

I found a possible explanation. I understand some of it (interference
patterns) but not all the math.
