How to travel faster than light

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.

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%.

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

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

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

Albert Einstein : Nothing is faster than light

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

@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.

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

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.

Breaks light speed

Physics: you wasn't supposed to do that

[GaganKP]

Nothing can go faster than speed of light in space

But space itself can go.

[sridharsarangapani]

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

😂 “ My brains are going into my feet “!!!

[rishabhOT]

That means we are also moving at the speed of light for someone.
And the also can't se us.

[paskky]

Us: Can we move faster than light?

Fermilab: *Well yes, but actually no*

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.

[jonvance]

Ludicrous Speed! Lol. Seriously, I'd like more information on Cherenkov radiation, that's cool stuff!

[anthonyrodgers]

The talk in my town moves faster then the speed of light 🙄
