How To Go Faster Than Light Speed

At this nuclear reactor, you can witness matter accelerating faster than the speed of light. To an observer, this appears as a mesmerizing blue glow. But how is it possible for matter to travel faster than c? The answer lies in the flexibility of the speed of light. Though we think of light in a vacuum traveling at constant speed- c- that only applies if there’s nothing around. When there are obstacles present, like atoms, molecules or other materials, light can be slowed down and surpassed by matter travelling at higher speeds. In essence, the key to moving something faster than the speed of light is to first slow down the speed of light itself. Through manipulating certain conditions and variables within a reactor to impede optical radiation flow, matter can move several times faster than c—thus providing us with incredible scenes such as those witnessed here today!

There's a counter-intuitive phenomenon when it comes to light. While the speed of light, c, is constant in a vacuum, it slows down when passing through many transparent materials – such as glass or water. Intuitively, one might think that resistance causes this phenomena but actually, contrary to intuition, light progresses across these mediums at just the same velocity as it entered. The science behind this odd behavior is quite complex and requires a shift in the way we view light; light being treated not only like an energy wave but also as particle-like entities known as photons. Going further into why this happens involves mind bending physics and quantum concepts; however understanding them isn't necessary for comprehension of why there's variation in the speed of light due to different forms of media.

Let's forget about the analogy with the sled. That isn't quite accurate. Instead, try to picture light passing through a medium as if it's a pinball machine: photons bouncing off of particles before popping out the other side. This could mean that light travels at its fastest speed (c) but needs to take a longer path, taking more time to get from A to B. Obviously, this model would also suggest that light entering glass or water should get scattered in all directions - even though we know this doesn't actually happen. So what is really taking place?

We need to understand how electromagnetic waves move across space: these are composed of two oscillating fields - an electric field and a magnetic field. The relationship between these two fields is an essential law of our universe; when one changes, so does the other with it, which produces another wave moving across space at its own particular speed determined by their ability to create each other.

In a vacuum nothing can stop this feedback loop, the electromagnetic waves we call light moving as fast as the universe allows, maximum speed c, But when this light wave travels through a medium like water, The electric and magnetic fields of light Atoms and molecules of water collide generate its own electric and magnetic fields, and, well, it creates confusion.

All these fields are mutually attractive essentially making it harder Electric and Magnetic Fields for Light produce each other compared to when they were in a vacuum Nothing stands in the way. As a result of all this, we observe the following: Whenever light passes through a transparent medium, It's getting slower and slower. Uranium fissions underneath

And release a lot of heat, radiation, and fast particles, such as negatively charged electrons, and their positively charged counterparts, called positrons. Now, as these charged particles move through the water, Whether they drive fast or slow, they attract water molecules So the charges somehow match. Like a star through a crowd everyone turns around.

For a moment all the bodies were aligned. Then, after they've passed, everyone turns back to the random direction they're facing. As these water molecules relax back into the direction the charged particles were in before they passed, they emit pulses of light.

If the charged particles were moving slower than the speed of light in that material, we wouldn't actually be able to see the light waves. It just radiates outward and dissipates. Kind of like the waves surrounding a swan slowly drifting across the lake, all lah-dee-dah, but now imagine the swan turning on the turbine and starting screaming in the water

Swells faster than a wave. There are dozens of muscles in your face and neck, and this microcurrent stimulates them. It's like exercising your facial muscles and skin, tightening and smoothing the epidermis you so often show everyone.

Here we go.

A true sense of bringing light into darkness, feel good. That's stupid.

It starts with me, with a happy blue glow on my face.

So excited.
