Traveling faster than light is one of humanity’s dreams. Sadly, modern physics doesn’t cooperate. However there are examples where it really is possible to travel faster than light. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln tells us of these ways in which the universe breaks the ultimate speed limit.

I will definitely bring this up at the next dinner party .... and see how quickly the space between me and the other guests expands.

It's a well-known fact that malicious gossip is the only thing which travels faster than the speed of light.

You have an uncanny ability to finish every video in style Dr. Lincoln and you do it with so much simplicity that I'll forever be in awe

First train really, really hard. Like every day kind of hard, until you can run at the speed of light. And THEN give it 110%.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it. Terry Pratchett

I will be using this for Science night with my grandkids. Thank you for making it accessible with the balloon demo! I foresee star stickers and balloons in our future.

Breaks light speed Physics: you wasn't supposed to do that

Or as Dr. Lawrence Krauss says: You can't go through space FTL, but space can do what it wants.

I'm just a notch more intelligent than a monkey. But I truly love this stuff. Thanks for making this video.

Fermilab: “Why you can’t travel faster than the speed of light” Also Fermilab: “How to travel faster than the speed of light”

I really enjoyed that and learned a lot. Thanks for making it!

Nothing can go faster than speed of light in space But space itself can go.

I’m related to Edwin Hubble, so it’s kinda cool to hear about him in a video

i changed majors from physics to computer science because the profs had no social or communication skills, keep up the great videos

"As for c, that is the speed of light in vacuum, and if you ask why c, the answer is that it is the initial letter of celeritas, the Latin word meaning speed."

I'm a pianist. Some folks are wonderful pianists but have no clue how to teach. Dr Lincoln not only is a great physicist, but a wonderful teacher.

@Fermilab Thank you, Dr. Don Lincoln, for igniting the love for physics in me. I appreciate your ability to explain complex physics such that anybody with an eagerness to learn can understand. Envisioning about the universe and space-time is a feeling which is beyond what our senses can experience.
