Well, it looks like we may be seeing something faster than light. Weirdly enough. Take that, evil postulates! HWAH!

Yup. read about it a few days ago. Amazing.
Y'hear they also slowed light from 180,000 miles per second to 39 miles per hour?

Weird.
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be "The One".
Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see.

Researchers in Switzerland have succeeded in breaking the cosmic speed limit by getting light to go faster than, well, light.
That is wrong! The record was broken five years ago!
QUOTE(New Scientist)
Gisin and colleagues undertook the first experiment to answer this question five years ago. They sent pairs of entangled photons through fibre-optic links between two Swiss villages 10 kilometres apart, and performed the measurements in the two villages within about 5 picoseconds of each other. The predictions of quantum theory still held up. Based on their set-up, the team calculated that the entanglement influence must have travelled at least 10 million times faster than light.

Hehe, pretty cool stuff 
But messing with light is an odd thing to be trying to do, yes?
But messing with light is an odd thing to be trying to do, yes?That's for sure. I wouldn't be surprised to hear of any fatalities.
