Scientists from the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel, have discovered that there is actually something that can exceed the speed of light. The discovery was made through an experiment that identified “dark points” within a single wavelength of a polariton, which travels roughly 100 times slower than light in a vacuum. This discovery confirms the 50-year-old hypothesis that dark can exceed its cosmic speed limit of 299,792,458 meters per second. The research required a unique microscopy system, a laser setup, and a material in which light transforms into “light-sound waves” known as polaritons, to prove.
