Faster than the Speed of Light - Could the Laws of Physics Change?
The laws of physics are usually meant to be set in stone; variability is not usually part of physics. Yet contradicting Einstein's tenet of the constancy of the speed of light raises nothing less than that possibility. Joao Magueijo, Professor of Physics at Imperial College London, will discuss some of the more dramatic implications of a varying speed of light.
