tunneling doesnt take faster than light speed to explain, only that there
are more than three dimensions to space. In some dimension the begining and
end was not as far apart as the scientist thought they were. In other words
you dont travel faster than light, you just take a short cut.

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. :-)

You just can't pose a better question than that, it escapes me how
anyone can find fault with such a question(s).

Once we deal with the problem of rf waves appearing both as waves and
photons and get our minds wrapped around how this is (truly understand
rf), interesting things could happen.

Hi Mike,

There are antennas made of insulating materials, why don't you have
one already? However, no antenna is made "completely" of insulating
material - unless you can replace a gamma feed with fiber optics at
HF. ;-)

Let's say you want to work 30M Evanescent Mode (this is the coupling
of their work). Build yourself a prism of glass (or other, similar
dielectric with n 1.6) with sides of 400M X 400M X 600M. Aim the
long side's face into the sky - if you can move it, that is. Point
your beam into one of the smaller faces. Expect a LOT of attenuation.
If you want more energy going towards DX, you need to make the prism
larger.

If glass is not your cup of tea, it can be replaced with a similar
sized prism of a matrix of metal rods (all roughly resonant). This
does, of course, present a lightning hazard.

As for the "faster than light," Your DX signal will probably arrive
no sooner than it did without the prisms (the "faster than light" only
works with retarding mechanisms). This is all like selling dehydrated
water (Just add water!).

And the about the only thing new was this was done at RF instead of
optical frequencies as has been done for years.

And the background stuff that says this is old news (other than doing

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.

Hi Mike,

I'm accustomed to material dealing with evanescent waves. I've
alluded to them in other postings here where the wavelength and the
frequency of the energy do not follow classic conversions such as 1 =
f/t. Evanescent waves are one of but many of the energy transfer
mechanisms being turned into something useful at the nano-scale. The
original article cites work done in the audio spectrum ("Beating the
Sound Barrier"), but unless you are versed in the trade, you might
think in terms of Hz, KHz, or MHz. Instead, their region of acoustic
interest is in the THz.

Touchy-feely at the nano level is wholly different as it departs from
Newtonian rules, but doesn't quite delve into Quantum (a middle ground
of the curious where current flow is one electron at a time).

Anyway, back to antennas.

Another, related, "photonic" oddity is found in materials with
negative indices of refraction. Locally, Boeing has done some
investigation into it:
http://www.boeing.com/news/frontiers...gust/i_tt.html

This reveals a cube of artificial dielectric with a negative index. It
is also relegated to the microwaves for testing the concepts. I
designed models in EZNEC years ago, but quickly ran out of segments
for all but the simplest prisms.

A negative index of refraction gives you a lens that can focus to an
infinitely small spot (a must have for those doing photolithography in
the nano scale). The kicker is that the lens is flat. And, of
course, it bends rays backwards to expectations (backwards as in to
the other side of the normal, incidence; not reflection).

***** sucker bait follows *******

Now, if we were to split the cube diagonally and repeat the evanescent
mode, then maybe we could light up dark matter.

Hi Jimmie,

Their contemporaries thought that trees could enter into their dreams
and explain the mysteries of life - hence the legacy of "knock on
wood" which a lot of this ersatz hero worship correspondence is so
like.

Let's see, a link to a National Enquirer story headlines a story about
a surgeon who grafts a pig's head onto Paris Hilton, and the poster
suddenly crows like a medical authority:
"Amazing how Lister and Pasteur were just so many
country bumpkin scientists!
If Professor Christiaan Barnard was such a whiz
