So, we have discovered that something is faster than light. It is the quantum tunneling effect. This is the Gödelian ‘hole’ that leads upsystem. No one who doesn’t understand Cantor, Hilbert, Riemann and Gödel… will be able to have the slightest idea what this means. But later, it will mean a great deal.

“At that timescale the time an electron takes to quantum tunnel out of an atom was thought to be significant. But the mathematics says the time during tunneling is imaginary – a complex number – which we realised meant it must be an instantaneous process,” said Professor Kheifets.

“A very interesting paradox arises, because electron velocity during tunneling may become greater than the speed of light. However, this does not contradict the special theory of relativity, as the tunneling velocity is also imaginary” said Dr Ivanov, who recently took up a position at the Center for Relativistic Laser Science in Korea.
