    ByGreg KestinThe Nature of RealityThe Nature of Reality

    What, if anything, is faster than the speed of light? Einstein’s Special Relativity sets this universal speed limit, which no matter or information can surpass. But are there faster than light phenomena that evade this limitation?

    This video explores 3 things that have been said to be “faster than light:”

    1. The expansion of the universe, and the speed of galaxies inside it
    2. Quantum entanglement
    3. The fastest possible cut through a piece of paper
