  2. Cherenkov radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation

    Cherenkov radiation glowing in the core of the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory. Cherenkov radiation (/ tʃ ə ˈ r ɛ ŋ k ɒ f /) (also known as Čerenkov or Cerenkov radiation) is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium (such as distilled water) at a speed greater than the phase velocity (speed of ...

  3. Faster-than-light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

    In the context of this article, "faster-than-light" means the transmission of information or matter faster than c, a constant equal to the speed of light in vacuum, which is 299,792,458 m/s (by definition of the metre) [3] or about 186,282.397 miles per second. This is not quite the same as traveling faster than light, since:

    The black trump virus is a variant of xenovirus takis-B. Rather than a cure, this retrovirus was designed to kill aces, jokers, latents, and wild card carriers. Dr. Tachyon's original trump virus was designed to turn wild carders back into nats (a slang term for naturals), those who do not carry xenovirus takis-A in their system. Bloodfire

  6. Tachyon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon

    Theorized. 1967. A tachyon ( / ˈtækiɒn /) or tachyonic particle is a hypothetical particle that always travels faster than light. Physicists believe that faster-than-light particles cannot exist because they are inconsistent with the known laws of physics. [1] [2] If such particles did exist they could be used to send signals faster than light.

    Temperature vs time plots, showing the Mpemba Effect. The Mpemba effect is the name given to the observation that a liquid (typically water) which is initially hot can freeze faster than the same liquid which begins cold, under otherwise similar conditions. There is disagreement about its theoretical basis and the parameters required to produce ...
