TUSTIN, Calif., Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Since Einstein, scientists have dreamed of Laser light powered rockets streaking through space at speeds approaching the speed of light. This vision came a step closer to reality on December 21, 2006, when Dr. Young Bae of the Bae Institute successfully demonstrated the world's first Photonic Laser Thruster (PLT). Repeated experiments since then have reconfirmed results.

einsteinshow.php.jpeg [I]t turns out that maybe Einstein was wrong about that whole relativity thing. A couple of German physicists claim that they've broken the speed of light (with a photon, not a rocket, disappointingly). What this means is that time travel, instantaneous traveling between distant locations and really fast download speeds could all be possible. more

May/June – After years of trying to redefine the motion of electromagnetic waves (including light) Einstein had a revelation one beautiful day, around mid-May 1905. This provided the solution to the problem of how relative motion effects electromagnetic phenomena, which to Einstein had been his “...life for over 7 years.” During these 7 years Einstein had struggled through many dead-ends and failures, writing later
