Israeli Processor Computes at Speed of Light

If it had an accelerator card based on a CPU like this in it I might actually change my mind about the A2000 really being a Professional Computer!   :-D

I believe if electricty is moving through a medium that has no resistance (a super-conductor) then it travels at or near the speed of light.  Of course most wire isn't super-conudcting so it moves a little slower than that.  I could be wrong though  :-)

Nice, but the only downside is that you can't build a processer faster than this because what is faster than light?

There are particles believed to exist called FTL particles (Fast Than Light).  One of the more common particles believed to exist are called Tachyons. ( of course there are many that believe they don't exist as well).

Of course there's still that question of turning you're headlights on while going down the highway at 70mph (yeah I'm in the US  :-)  )  Does that mean the light is traveling at 70 miles faster than the speed of light?  Einstein seems to think not.
