I have heard from several different sources that FTL speed has been achieved in expirimentation via tunneling of photons. Does anybody know some place where I can read up on this?
the basic gist as I've come to understand it.....
a photon in shot un-interupted.....attained light speed.
a photon was shot with a barrier in front of it....causing it to actually speed up as it tunneled through the barrier. The oscillation frequency of the photon sped up as it hit the barrier to pass through it......lessening it's mass allowing the same propulsion energy to result in it moving faster than light. I've read in several questionable places that the results varied in several tests ranging from 1.7x to 3x the speed of light in different trials.
this study is ofcourse intergal to our space exploration. If this is true....and we could find a way to increase the oscillation frequency of greater mass, reducing it to less than a photon.....allowing it to move at speeds double or more the speed of light with very little energy needed for propulsion....it would greatly enhance our ability for exploration.
yeah....it's a science topic....but philosophy is the root of science. Philosophy poses the question, science attempts to answer it.
anyway......I'm looking for a hard fact credible source.....not heresay.....
