Whats faster than the speed of light?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of faster-than-light phenomena, with participants questioning claims about superluminal speeds. The OPERA experiment, which initially suggested neutrinos could travel faster than light, is mentioned as a potential reference point. However, it is noted that subsequent corrections have invalidated those findings. The conversation emphasizes the importance of credible sources and scientific accuracy in discussing such topics. Understanding the nuances of phase and group velocities is also highlighted as crucial in this context.

Im just interested to know because apparently there is something faster than the speed of light and the fastest thing i know is the speed of light?

What do you mean with "apparently there is something faster than the speed of light"? Do you refer to phase velocity, group velocity or what?
 
what is faster than light i herd somewhere on the internet scientist found something that's faster than light?

Please provide a reference so we know what you're talking about.
 
maybe he's talking about the neutrino experiment!

This is not an acceptable form of "reference" for the physics forums:

As has been alluded to, you are probably referring to the apparent superluminal neutrinos from the OPERA experiment. Do a search. You need to update your information because there's a correction to that.
