Scientists at the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, N. J., have submitted a paper to Nature for peer review that describes an experiment in which light was accelerated to 300 times its normal speed, so fast that the pulse exited the test chamber before it entered. While this does not mean that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, which states that the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) is the fastest speed in the universe, is necessarily invalid, it does mean that important principles of propagation are just now being discovered. Whether or not this research will lead to the ability to signal across time is unknown, but there is no theoretical barrier to this process.read more

However, it is expected that he will continue to host Dreamland for the foreseeable future. He will also appear as a frequent guest on Coast-to-Coast, and carry out occasional fill-in duty as overnight host. Like everybody, he is sad to see Art go. But he welcomes Mike Siegel and will do everything in his power to support Mike and Coast-to-Coast.
