In Dr. Wang's experiment, the outgoing pulse had already traveled about 60 feet from the chamber before the incoming pulse had reached the chamber's near side. That distance corresponds to 60 billionths of a second of light travel time. But it really wouldn't allow anyone to send faster than c, said Peter W. Milonni, a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. While the peak of the pulse does get pushed forward by that amount, an early "nose" or faint precursor of the pulse has probably given a hint to the cesium of the pulse to come.
Dunno why, and prolly just crazy, but the excerpt mentions a "nose" or faint precursor... I'm no physicist or really qualified to comment on this, but I am going to anyhow... I got the strangest feeling about this "nose" or faint precursor and my mind immediately said... "Thats why Deja Vu happens". Is it possible that our minds can sense this type of happening... I know this is all a laboratory created event, but what if this happens in the real universe all the time and occasionally we pick up on these events and have a sensation of Deja Vu...??? Oh well, like I said, just popped in my head while I was reading the article...
