Seems I got shot down in flames when I mentioned this very topic a couple of
months ago. Or maybe it was my attempt to try and visualise how this
phenomenon might take place. :-(

If optical photons can tunnel through opaque materials, then why not radio
frequency photons? An antenna made completely of insulating materials would
at least reduce the risk of lightning strikes. :-)


Am I reading the wrong thing? When I click on the link, I get a story
about "We have broken speed of light".

Looks like "We go really fast, lose command of English".

To comment on the what the link has on it, There are some really
fundamental mistakes in it:

What kind of scientist measures "instantaneousnous"? How do you measure
that? What is the margin of error on apparent simultaneous occurances?

How does traveling faster than light allow you to arrive before you
leave?. That would be time reversal, not traveling faster than light.
According to their experiment, you could get there no sooner than
instant you left.

Anything is possible when you get your science news from The Telegraph.
Kinda reminds me of the old DAK catalogs.

I'd like to read their publication on the matter.

And as for tunneling, its been known about for quite some time.
