    This is causing a bit of a stir in the science community. The results have not been independently verified yet.

    I thought it was already proven wrong a few years back when those Australian scientists (yes they exist apparently) discovered that the speed of light changes over time and E=mc2 is based on the fact that the speed of light does not change.

    Maybe the Aussies got it wrong.

    Australia has/had some of the best scientists in the world when the funding was there up until a few years back. With the funding lacking, maybe your assumptions are now correct and they spend all their time researching the effect of didgeridoo's on deterring Bunyips.

    I heard this yesterday as well, this will be very groundbreaking once verified. Of course it even though it may show that faster than light is possible, sub-atomic particles are one thing, and anything we want to transfer at faster than light is without a doubt wholly another thing.
