I was sitting in physics class today and the question of speed of light came up. I asked if anything could pass the speed of light, and the professor stated that Cerenkov radiation was particles moving faster than the speed of light in water, and it resulted in a "light boom." My question to him was, "What is the matter or energy that is used to create this light?" "Where does this energy come from?" If we are in a closed system in which nothing new comes in and nothing in the system leaves then from what source does this light come?
