Quantum Queerness

The Truly Timeless AtomYeaaaah, baby! Nothing like some Quantum Physics to get you going in the morning. Researchers at the University of Rochester believe they may have found a way to get light to travel faster than its accepted speed of 186k miles/sec.

Okay, to be honest, I can only wrap my brain around it to a very limited degree, but that's the nature of Q-Phizz, baby, and I'm a blissful, albeit moderately ignorant (8-{/)> , quantum physics junkie. So... if you're ready for the cognitive gymnastics, grab a couple aspirin and read on....
