Electrical pulses break light speed record
22 January 2002 Pulses that travel faster than light have been sent over a significant distance for the first time. Alain Haché and Louis Poirier of the University of Moncton in Canada transmitted the pulses through a 120-metre cable made from a coaxial 'photonic crystal'. The achievement raises hopes that data could travel through electronic communications systems at almost the speed of light (A Haché and L Poirier 2002 Appl. Phys. Lett. 80 518). |

Since I estimate a lot, I figgered "186,000 mps?" was close enough for the 100' of wire that electricity had to travel. Still pretty quick, I think, While turning off the light switch and jumping into bed, it's always dark before I get there. mick |

Where is everyone getting 186 000 m/s? The speed of light in a vacuum is just slightly under 3 x 10^8 m/s.

Actually, that was the Pathfinder mission to Mars. Dynes + Newtons = big mess! Don't tell Padgett this, but apparently the past 2 1/2 years of collegiate level science classes have metrified me.
