News is from 2011. This mistake in measurements has been found long ago.

Oh well. Thanks for saying! I found this link from Feb. 22 2012:

I just double checked and it is old news. Not being awake enough this morning.

I read about that in 1960;)

Well, that's just a wee bit fast, isn't it. :o

It has been a belief among cosmologist for a while that the universe itself is expanding at a pace faster than the speed of light. Maybe that does not contradict the assertion that nothing IN the universe travels faster than the speed of light.

I have read that too, and it may well be the speed of light is not a constant after all.

And perhaps "travel" is not the proper word for what sub-atomic particles do. Perhaps the universe is so interconnected that what happens anywhere is happening everywhere. This idea is being entertained at the outer fringes of speculation. "Beam me up, Scotty."

The idea of quantum superposition seems appropriate here.
