Default Light travels backward and faster than light
A team of scientist say they have made light go backwards.....

Quote:
Previous work has slowed light to a crawl. But in the new research, a pulse of light is given a negative speed and—as if just to make your head spin—the researcher says the experiment made light appear to exceed its theoretical speed limit.

There is a video included on the page.

Hum,
