Two German professors at the Uni of Koblenz claim having discovered the possibility to travel faster than the speed of light. But there could be some problems with their quantum tunneling theory;

The pair say they have conducted an experiment in which microwave photons – energetic packets of light – travelled “instantaneously” between a pair of prisms that had been moved up to 3ft apart.

Being able to travel faster than the speed of light would lead to a wide variety of bizarre consequences.

For instance, an astronaut moving faster than it would theoretically arrive at a destination before leaving

We are not sure if this announcement is truly exciting or not but it contains the word quantum, so we had to report it here.
