The Fastest Camera Ever Made Captures 100 Billion Frames Per Second
Jason Koebler writes A new imaging technique is able to capture images at 100 billion frames per second—fast enough to watch light interact with objects, which could eventually lead to new cloaking technologies. The camera was developed by a team at Washington University in St. Louis—for the team's first tests, it was able to visualize laser pulse reflections, photons racing through air and through resin, and "faster-than-light propagation of non-information." It can also be used in conjunction with telescopes and to image optical and quantum communications, according to lead researcher Liang Gao.
Event horizons.
Picture scissors. The edges come together as they close. So increase the size of the scissors, and the speed you close them. Eventually the "point" where the scissors come together will eventually go faster than the speed of light.
It's "real". It's visible. And it isn't mass, energy, or information.
If you don't like that, take a laser. Point it at a cloud. Move the light as fast as you can. The point of light (as seen as the reflection on the cloud) can travel faster than the speed of light.

No, not love. I thought techies on a tech site would have learned something in physics class. What are they teaching these days, and is there an opening for roman_mir?
