Einstein predicted that particles and information can't travel faster than the speed of light — but phenomenon like radio waves? That's a different story, said Singleton, a Los Alamos National Laboratory Fellow.

why do people have such a hard time reading?

I think we ignored the quote because it doesn't make any sense. The information is embedded within the radio signal, so information is travelling faster than light. So in Singleton's quote, he contradicts either himself or Einstein. Therefore, we simply ignored it instead of debating his mistake.

Plus, radio waves are not a phenomenon! The dual nature of light as a wave and a particle both is a phenomenon. Radio waves are pretty mundane.

Back to the scientific breakthrough, if a radio wave can be accelerated, maybe light in wave form can be accelerated as well. Then, because of the dual nature, we have also accelerated particles faster than light.
But, alas, semantics. If we accelerate light, faster than itself, we have not really exceeded the speed of light, have we?

What I find humorous is the attempt to justify pulsars based on this finding.

By this point I hope people realize that 99.9% of what mainstream cosmologists are telling you is a complete joke.

They have invented themselves a new religion to explain the cosmos where by only the gifted elite minds of quantum physicists can explain it.

Ask any electrical engineer if they have ever used magnetic reconnection to solve an engineering problem and they will laugh at you.

I love it! Great thread. I just wonder how long it is untill we advance to interstellar travel? Can't be long now!?

Considering space is made up of vast regions of separated electrical charge, interstellar travel seems highly likely to me.

There is no light speed barrier.

What we see as a light barrier is the delay it takes for the "aether" to propagate the light wave function. There is no speed limit on matter as scientists claim. Just as an object can travel faster than sound, so too can an object travel faster than light, only instead of not being able to hear it from the front, we would not be able to see it from the front.

While I'm not particularly religious, I find the notion of the universe being so incomprehensibly huge without an efficient way to travel about it to be highly unlikely.

If plasma cosmology is right, our measuring rods of distance are grossly distorted and the nearest star systems might indeed be closer than we currently think they are.

I'd wager than within the next 1000 years of human history, assuming we don't blow ourselves up or enslave ourselves, humans will have developed a means (or at least the knowledge) of traversing inter-stellar distances.
