If this isn't a hoax, or a bad experiment, it would HUGELY change a lot of physics:

Oh yeah... Star Trek is possible after all!!!  And they said "c" was the maximum velocity possible, ha!  Now, we just have to work on accelerating something bigger than a subatomic particle to those kind of speeds...

I thought this was one of the predictions of QED. (Quantum Electrodynamics)

That individual particles could do all sorts of weird things like going faster (or Slower) than the speed of light and even travel backwards in time.

But that the "Sum Over Histories" results in the "Average" speed matching C (The Speed of Light) and all having the same "Arrow of Time".

Hmmmmm....

I haven't been around here for a few months, glad to see that nothing's changed..
