Faster-than-light equipment
Faster than light experiment. View of professor Gunter Nimtz and the equipment he used to send information faster than light. Nimtz works at the University of Cologne, Germany. His experiments involved transmitting microwaves through a tunnel at superluminal speeds. In Nimtz experiments, microwaves carrying Mozarts 40th symphony moved through the tunnel at 4.7 times the speed of light. He explained this using the tunnelling effect, a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which particles travel " through" an energy barrier instead of having to go over it. Nimtz says his results obey relativity, as the front waves still travelled at the speed of light

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Professor Gunter Nimtz and the groundbreaking equipment he used to conduct a faster-than-light experiment. Working at the esteemed University of Cologne in Germany, Nimtz delved into uncharted scientific territory by transmitting microwaves through a tunnel at superluminal speeds. In his remarkable experiments, microwaves carrying Mozart's 40th symphony traversed the tunnel at an astonishing 4.7 times the speed of light. Nimtz attributed this phenomenon to the tunnelling effect, a quantum mechanical marvel where particles navigate "through" energy barriers rather than surmounting them conventionally. Importantly, Nimtz emphasized that his results remained faithful to Einstein's theory of relativity, as the front waves still adhered to the cosmic speed limit of light itself. This revelation challenged long-held beliefs about what was possible within our known physical laws. The image showcases Professor Gunter Nimtz surrounded by his intricate apparatus—a testament to human ingenuity and relentless pursuit of knowledge. It serves as a visual reminder that even in realms once deemed impossible or beyond comprehension, science continues to push boundaries and unravel mysteries. This extraordinary photograph from Science Photo Library encapsulates not only Professor Nimtz's revolutionary work but also represents humanity's ceaseless quest for understanding and exploration in fields as awe-inspiring as physics and mechanics.
