Faster-than-light experiment
MODEL RELEASED. 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
The print captures the groundbreaking faster-than-light experiment conducted by Professor Gunter Nimtz at the University of Cologne, Germany. In this image, we see Professor Nimtz alongside his cutting-edge equipment, which he utilized to transmit information faster than light. Professor Nimtz's experiments involved the transmission of microwaves through a tunnel at superluminal speeds, surpassing the speed of light. Astonishingly, in his research, microwaves carrying Mozart's 40th symphony traveled through the tunnel at an incredible 4.7 times the speed of light. To explain this extraordinary phenomenon, Professor Nimtz referred to the tunnelling effect – a quantum mechanical occurrence where particles travel "through" an energy barrier rather than going over it. He emphasized that despite these remarkable results, they still adhere to relativity as the front waves continued to move at the speed of light. This mesmerizing image not only showcases Professor Gunter Nimtz's pioneering work but also highlights humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding in physics and mechanics. It serves as a testament to our unyielding curiosity about exploring new frontiers and pushing boundaries beyond what was once deemed impossible.
