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.

Yes, indeed!

The titanium physicist podcast had a segment on that... it's bunk.
