    Faster than light achieved: a group of researchers at the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, US, observed the peak of a laser pulse leave a small cell filled with caesium gas before it had even entered the cell (L J Wang, A Kuzmich and A Dogariu 2000 Nature 406 277).
    or (more recently)
    ScienceDaily (Jan. 27, 2010) — Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), a collaboration of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Maryland at College Park, can speed up photons (particles of light) to seemingly faster-than-light speeds through a stack of materials by adding a single, strategically placed layer.

    Re: Did you Know.......

    Keeping with the OP, this is supposed to be a thread of really interesting facts... let's try to restrain our penchant for puns...which is REALLY hard for me, too. So, only jokes/humor that also state an actual trivia fact...

    Like maybe: Did you know... "Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do."

    (Still trying to figure out if Zbor's is a joke or not... hehe)

    POLYAMORY IS WRONG!

    It is either Multiamory or Polyphilia, but mixing Greek and Latin roots? Wrong!
